In this presentation special guest Jihun Yum will first introduce the Bergman metric
on a bounded domain in Cn, which can be viewed as a generalization
of the Poincar´e metric. We will then explore some key theorems
that illustrate how the curvature of the Bergman metric characterizes
bounded domains in Cn and more generally, complex manifolds.
Finally, I will discuss my recent work related to these concepts. Click here for more information

Join Thomas Maierhofer from the UCLA Department of Statistics & Data Science to explore ALISSTAIR — an AI-powered teaching aid designed to support students in statistical learning. ALISSTAIR, a custom chatbot powered by open AI's GPT technology, offers real-time help with lecture content, homework, practice problems, and R programming. In this talk, you’ll learn about the journey of creating ALISSTAIR and its application in the classroom. You’ll also discover how to build your own AI-powered teaching aid in just 10 minutes using a no-code graphical user interface, making it accessible to anyone without programming experience. Whether you're interested in how AI can enhance your teaching or just curious about ALISSTAIR’s future, this talk will provide valuable insights.

Recently, self-characterized novice researchers have made calls for mathematics education researchers to be more explicit in how theories and associated constructs have come to shape their research programs. They appropriately argue that such insights not only help less experienced researchers understand and use those theories and constructs, but also aid them in building an image of the practices involved in sustaining a research program. In this seminar talk, I discuss how re-presentation (and other associated constructs) came to be an informing theory for building second-order models of students’ quantitative reasoning. I trace through the genesis of its relationship with my research program—Dr. Irma Stevens’s dissertation research—and I illustrate several applications of it as it relates to empirical data and task design.

Filtering is an important tool to aid in reducing non-physical oscillations, errors, and the amount of data necessary for accurate simulations. Further, the ability to utilize filtering can allow for interaction between processes that occur at different scales. However, filtering for solutions containing sharp gradients can be particularly challenging. Advances in filtering for sharp-gradients, including utilizing non-symmetric filtering, has become increasingly necessary in order to understand the detailed physics in applications such as hypersonics. In this talk, we review the necessary properties for effective filters and the difficulties in constructing useful filters for sharp gradients. As a basis for discussion, we utilize the Smoothness-Increasing Accuracy-Conserving (SIAC) filtering framework, which inherently takes advantage of the underlying physics and allows for the full resolution of the approximation and its derivatives in both the physical domain and Fourier signal space.

Quantitative reasoning’s emergence as a foundation for students’ mathematical development has generated a need for supporting teachers’ capacity to teach for such reasoning. Complicating the matter, teachers’ extant meanings can be incompatible with or create obstacles in their reasoning quantitatively. In this talk, I discuss a meanings perspective on working with prospective and practicing teachers in order to honor their extant meanings while supporting their constructing meanings that foreground quantitative reasoning. This meanings perspective, referred to as competing meanings, involves a problematization of extant meanings, the construction of alternative meanings, and a critical comparison of each. I present the competing meanings perspective and informing theories, and I draw on my research team's empirical work to provide tangible and research-based examples of the competing meanings perspective.
