Proper 3-Colorings of Arbitrarily Large Cycles and Hypercubes, by Emily Cairncross ’21, Math Major
05
May
1:00 pm to 1:20 pm
In this talk, we look at two families of graphs, cycles and hypercubes, and compare how their sets of proper 3-colorings differ as the graphs get arbitrarily large. In particular, we find the...
A Discontinuous ODE Model of the Ice-Free Small Ice Cap Oscillation During the Pliocene, by Kotaro Kajita ’21, Math Major
05
May
1:20 pm to 1:40 pm
In this project we model the oscillations between ice-free and small ice cap earth states of the Pliocene by expanding an energy balance model to include varying CO 2 concentration. The resulting non...
The End Sum of Surfaces, by Liam Axon ’21, Math Major
05
May
1:50 pm to 2:10 pm
The end-sum operation is a way of combining two manifolds of the same dimension. It is similar to the more familiar connected sum, but is less well-studied. The end-sum has been used primarily to...
Collaborative Game Mosaics, by Xiaoyun Gong ’21, Math Major
05
May
2:10 pm to 2:30 pm
Imagine two players are playing a strategy board game. With one player holding black stones and the other player holding white stones, they take turns to place their pieces. After a while, they start...
