Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) fosters the development of applied mathematical and computational methodologies needed in various application areas. Applied mathematics, in partnership with computational science, is essential in solving many real-world problems. Through publications, research and community, the mission of SIAM is to build cooperation between mathematics and the worlds of science and technology. Click here for more information

This week our own Mary Vaughan will speak in the DEAM seminar.  We will meet on Friday from 1-2pm in DERR 229.  We will also have zoom access though I would encourage you to attend in-person if that is an option.

Title: Continuous symmetrizations and uniqueness of solutions to nonlocal equations
Abstract: In this talk, we will begin by briefly discussing fractional thin film equations which can be seen as the gradient flow of nonlocal energy functionals. We establish the uniqueness of nonnegative stationary solutions and present their explicit form. Towards this end, we show that nonlocal energies are strictly decreasing under the continuous Steiner rearrangement. Moreover, we use a convenient representation for fractional energies of good functions in terms of their level sets to expose a quantification of asymmetry. This work is joint with Matías Delgadino (UT Austin).

This Friday's (Feb 6) mathematics education seminar will feature Dr. Candace Walkington (Southern Methodist University) who will speak on "Generative AI in Mathematics Teaching and Learning." We will meet virtually via zoom from 1–2pm central at txstate.zoom.us….

Generative AI in Mathematics Teaching and Learning

Generative AI is increasingly becoming part of teaching and learning at both the K-12 and college levels. This talk will describe current trends and research in undergraduate mathematics education regarding students’ and instructors’ use of generative AI tools. The talk will also describe the possibilities of generative AI for personalized learning in K-12 mathematics contexts. The talk will argue that generative AI tools are being widely implemented without sufficient empirical evidence that their benefits outweigh their risks.

Dr. Candace Walkington is a Professor and the Annette and Harold Simmons Centennial Chair in the Department of Teaching and Learning at Southern Methodist University. Her research examines technology-enhanced approaches to mathematics instruction, including personalization, intelligent tutoring, augmented reality, virtual reality, and motion capture. She has received over $10 million in research grants from the federal government and is currently Principal Investigator on 3 NSF grants that examine issues of AI in mathematics education. In 2019, she was awarded the highest early career honor for scientists (PECASE) by the White House, and in 2021, she was identified as one of the three most influential researchers in the world in AI in mathematics education (Hwang & Tu, 2021).
