Doodling is a creative and fundamentally human activity, resulting in doodles iwth intricate and often hidden implicit structure. We will treat doodles as an example for how mathematics is done - by starting with some doodles, we will ask ourselves some natural questions and see where they take us. They will lead us to some unexpected places, and to some sophisticated mathematics.
with guest speaker Travis Jarvis from Brigham Young University Join the Department of Mathematics and Statistics for this free colloquium presentation, open to the public. Located in the Petty Science Building, Room 150. Abstract: Fifteen years ago, math majors at BYU told us, “We love math, but we know it... Continue reading...

The ANT-CoG (Algebra, Number theory, Topology, Combinatorics, & Geometry) seminar will meet Friday, 2/21, from 4:00-5:00pm in Petty 150. We are pleased to welcome our own Dr. Thomas Weighill for Friday's talk. Title: {vectorize, data?, unordered, Can, you} Abstract: We will look at some very theoretical results motivated by the practical problem of visualizing and vectorizing complex datasets like shapes, samples,...

Applied Math Seminar Monday, April 7th, 4pm - 5pm Petr Girg, University of West Bohemia (Czech Republic)
Victor H. Moll is a professor of mathematics at Tulane University. During the process of learning calculus one observes that there is a well-defined list of rules to compute derivatives: product, quotient, and chain rules are among the first taught in every class. On the other hand, when one tries... Continue reading...
UNC Greensboro, one of the campuses of the University of North Carolina System, will offer a 10-week REU program from May 26–July 31, 2025, for 10 nationally recruited undergraduate students from mathematical sciences. The program will be funded by NSF grant DMS-2244160.
