The North American Pacific region is a center of strength in the growing field of computational neuroscience. In this inherently interdisciplinary field -- practiced by mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers as well as neuroscientists ---...

The workshop will consist of several minicourses addressing a broad range of theoretical and practical issues arising in seismic imaging including the use of curvelets and other frames in seismic imaging, compressed sensing applied to seismic imaging...

I will present three new results: (i) the Cramer transform of the uniform measure on a convex body is a universal self-concordant barrier; (ii) projected gradient descent with Gaussian noise allows to sample from a log-concave measure in polynomial...

This is a one-day conference taking place on Saturday, March 31st on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle. The topics of this event are enumerative and algebraic combinatorics. The conference will feature 4 invited talks as well 5...

The 57th Cascade Topology Seminar will take place at Seattle University. The titles and abstracts for this event are: Ryan Derby-Talbot: Computing Heegaard genus is NP-Hard One of the most basic measures of the complexity of a 3-manifold is its...

We will begin by giving an elementary introduction to the GL(2,R) action on the Hodge bundle (sometimes called Teichmuller dynamics), after which we will give a survey of some of new developments in this field. This will include restrictions on the...

The surprising encounter of three fields of research, namely non-Euclidean geometry, statistical physics and mathematical economy, and a reflection on the human drivers behind mathematical research.
