• CMSA Special Seminar: Deformations to the Complex Plane, Novel Asymptotic Techniques, and the Large t- Asymptotics of the Riemann Zeta Function

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    CMSA Special Seminar Speaker: Thanasis Fokas, University of Cambridge Title: Deformations to the Complex Plane, Novel Asymptotic Techniques, and the Large t- Asymptotics of the Riemann Zeta Function Abstract: The Unified Transform (also known as the Fokas method) is a powerful new method for solving boundary value problems for linear and for integrable nonlinear PDEs. For […]

  • Mathematical Economics Seminar: Algorithmic Decision-Making

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Mathematical Economics Seminar: Algorithmic Decision-Making Speaker: Ashesh Rambachan, MIT Title:  Human Decisions and Machine Predictions in Multistage Systems Abstract: Many high-stakes decisions go through successive stages of human review before a final decision is made, complicating efforts to evaluate both the human decision-makers and algorithmic counterfactuals. We develop a framework for evaluating both humans and algorithms […]

  • Life on a Noisy Seascape: Extinction, Growth, and Diversity

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Colloquium Speaker: Mehran Kardar, MIT Title: Life on a Noisy Seascape: Extinction, Growth, and Diversity Abstract: Populations and communities rarely evolve in static environments; their fitness landscapes fluctuate across space and time, forming what may be called a noisy seascape. This talk examines how such variability modifies classical models of population dynamics and community stability. Beginning from the […]
