Seminars and Colloquia
During the academic year, the students and faculty in the School of Mathematical Sciences engage in several active seminars in mathematics and mathematics education. We also have about 10 colluquia presentations, often from speakers visiting from other institutions. We're working on getting more information on these colloquia, and we hope to post more information soon.
For a list of past colloquia, including supporting documents, see the Archived Colloquia.
Mathematics Education Seminar
For the Fall semester of 2011 Dr. Novak has organized a Mathematics Education Seminar. Each week different topics will be presented by various members of the School of Mathematical Sciences faculty. The schedule of presentation runs from Sept. 8 through Nov. 17.
Ecology Lab developed by the Population Modeling Seminar
In November, 2009, the Population Modeling Seminar, led by Dr. Jodie Novak, conducted a 3-hour Ecology lab on models for the introduction of viruses into an alien cat population. Preliminary feedback from students was very positive, and there are plans to revise the lab for future Ecology classes at UNC. The modeling seminar, which includes mathematics and biology graduate students, has run since Fall 2007. The full presentation, including a dynamic Mathematica-based model, is available here.
