On January 24-25, 2019 the Center of Mathematical Sciences will be hosting a conference on distributed-ledger (blockchain) technology. The conference is intended to cover a broad range of topics, from abstract mathematical aspects (cryptography, game theory, graph theory, theoretical computer science) to concrete applications (in accounting, government, economics, finance, management, medicine). The talks will take […]
Leslie Valiant will be giving the inaugural talk of the Ding Shum Lectures on Tuesday, October 10 at 5:00 pm in Science Center Hall D, Cambridge, MA. Learning as a Theory of Everything Abstract: We start from the hypothesis that all the information that resides in living organisms was initially acquired either through learning by an individual or […]

A major challenge in evolutionary biology is to understand how spatial population structure affects the evolution of social behaviors such as cooperation. This question can be investigated mathematically by studying evolutionary processes on graphs. Individuals occupy vertices and interact with neighbors according to a matrix game. Births and deaths occur stochastically according to an update […]
