By: Dr. Meera Sitharam Abstract: Given a triangulation of points in the plane, a flip deletes an edge e whose removal leaves a convex quadrilateral and replaces e by the opposite diagonal of the quadrilateral. In the topological setting, a triangulation of a closed surface is an equivalence class permitting points to be moved freely […]

By Dr. Bartosova Abstract: The notoriously known pigeonhole principle will set us off on a tour through different areas of mathematics, where we can encounter different manifestations of the Ramsey-like behavior.
By Cooper O’Kuhn Abstract: The Mondrian Puzzle is a problem dealing with tessellations of rectangles inside of a square of integer length. In juxtaposition to the geometric nature of this problem, the Mondrian Puzzle has seen the most advancements through applications of number-theoretic and combinatorial arguments. As well as being a great opportunity for research, […]
Abstract: It is well known that there are numerous ties between different fields of mathematics and physics, and the study of partial differential equations (PDE) is usually crucial for many important discoveries in various seemingly unrelated fields. While it is too much a task to give even a glimpse of the influence of PDE, I […]

By: Dr. Luca Di Cerbo Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce the classification problem for compact 3-manifolds and pictorially describe its recent resolution by the mysterious and reclusive Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman. Among other things, Perelman’s work implies the celebrated Poincare’ conjecture (stated back in 1904).
