Computational noise in deterministic simulations is as ill-defined a concept as can be found in scientific computing. Roundoff errors, discretizations, numerical solutions to systems of equations, and adaptive techniques can destroy the smoothness of...

We derive new identities for a polynomial analogue of the Stern sequence and define two subsequences of these polynomials. We obtain various properties for these two interrelated subsequences which have 0-1 coefficients and can be seen as extensions...

Doodling has many mathematical aspects: patterns, shapes, numbers,and more. Not surprisingly, there is often some sophisticated and funmathematics buried inside common doodles.I’ll begin by doodling, and see where it takes us.It looks like play, but...

This lecture will explain the Turing Test as well as Turing's more general views concerning the prospects for artificial intelligence and examine both the criticisms of the test and Turing's rebuttals.

Soroosh will be speaking tomorrow on log structures in algebraic geometry. These play a role in looking at the singular limits of elliptic curves.

Overview The Canadian Summer School on Quantum Information is now in its 13th year and is proud to bring together students from Canada and other countries to learn about quantum information. Past schools have been held in Toronto, Montréal...
