The Lamar University Mathematical Research Seminar meets on fridays from 2pm - 3pm in Lucas 113.
The purpose of the Lamar Mathematical Research Seminar is to promote, encourage, and stimulate mathematical research at Lamar University, especially interdisciplinary research. By ‘interdisciplinary’, we mean research that involves different fields within mathematics as well as that which involves mathematics and fields outside mathematics. Thus, we welcome talks from faculty outside the mathematics department and from all members of the mathematics department. However, all talks must either discuss the development of new mathematics or a substantial application of mathematics.
While talks on a speaker’s latest results are welcome, we also encourage expository talks and even tutorials spanning several weeks. Speakers may also talk about a problem they are working on and their attempts to solve it.
In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of the seminar, speakers should assume their audience is not familiar with the rudiments of their field, besides that which would normally be covered in an undergraduate mathematics course.
The focus of this semester's seminar is computational aspects of mathematics. In particular, numerical methods, applied mathematics, computer science, and models of computation. If you would like to give a talk in one of these areas, please email Valentin Andreev or Timothy McNicholl.
The current calendar of talks is as follows:
| October 12, 2007 | Timothy H. McNicholl (Lamar University) | Computing Space-Filling Curves Part 1 | ||
| October 19, 2007 | Dale Daniel (Lamar University) | Computing Space-Filling Curves Part 2 | ||
| November 30, 2007 | Kumer Das (Lamar University), | Martingale times and stopping. |
