Speaker Peter Winkler Dartmouth College http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/~pw/ Description Statistical physics is the study of global behavior resulting from interaction of many small particles...
Description Product design engineering focuses on the goal of developing a solution of a particular problem, for a particular market, by generating a product. The development process generally starts...
Description Thin film deposition provides a pathway to create a variety of functional surface nanostructures. However, once created such nanostructures must be stable in order to be useful. This talk...
SpeakerGrethe HystadUniversity of Arizonahttp://math.arizona.edu/people/gretheh Description The Ising model is one of the most studied models of modern physics. Since its introduction in 1925 by E...
SpeakerLek-heng LimUniversity of Chicagohttp://www.stat.uchicago.edu/~lekheng/ Description In mathematics, the study of multilinear algebra is largely limited to properties of a whole space of tensors...
Description Based on the work of John H. Conway “On Numbers and Games”. The talk discusses the methods of Dedekind and Khinchin constructing the real numbers. Both assume the existence of some other...
