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...

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 “cap set” problem asks the following question. Let S be a subset of an n-dimensional vector space over F_3 such that no three distinct elements of S are collinear. How big can S be? This is related to classical number theory questions about sets...

Mathematical modeling is an effective resource for biologists-- it provides ways to simplify, study and understand the complex systems common in biology and biochemistry. Many mathematical tools can be applied to biologicalproblems, some traditional...

The 25th West Coast Operator Algebras Seminar will take place at Seattle University on October 6-7, 2018. The conference will start on Saturday morning and conclude Sunday afternoon. The West Coast Operator Algebras Seminar promotes the vitality of...

We summarize the theory of Plancherel measures for real groups in a way which makes direct connections with L-functions through their gamma factors. These measures give a "first guess" as to how many L-functions there should be with certain numerical...

Standard Young tableaux are fundamental in combinatorics, representation theory, and geometry. In this talk, we will define these objects and discuss some of their remarkable properties. In particular, we will discuss the connection between the major...
