This story is about Anja Cain, who grew up in West Berlin. Her parents were resistance fighters against the Berlin Wall, leading to their hardship and her mother's capture. Anja then met her husband through mutual friends and they moved to the United States with their children, even though this was sometimes a difficult adjustment for Anja.

Tropical geometry is the geometry over the tropical semiring, which is the set of real numbers where the tropical addition is taking the minimum, and the tropical multiplication is the ordinary addition. As the ordinary linear and polynomial algebra give rise to convex geometry and algebraic geometry, tropical linear and polynomial algebra give ...

These two lectures give an introduction to scalar stochastic ordinarydifferential equations. During the first lecture, we introduce Brownianmotion and its general properties, and also give a general overview ofthe main questions of stochastic integration. The second lecture is moretheoretical in nature and introduces the stochastic Ito integral,...

Mathematics in sports covers a wide range of aspects, from the study of dynamical systems (to assess biological response to fatigue, for instance), the mechanics of biological tissues (like in injury studies), game theory (for strategy planing), up to the dynamics of fluids and structures to optimise the performance of sport devices (ski, racing...

Continuum solvation models have a quite long history which goes back to the first versions by Onsager (1936) and Kirkwood (1934), however only recently (starting since the 90's) they have become one of the most used computational techniques in the field of molecular modelling. This has been made possible by two factors which will be presented an...

As a complement to Vincent's talk on real numbers in Sage, I will describe Sage's capabilities for computing with p-adic numbers. The talk will include a quick introduction to the theory, a summary of this summer's advances in Sage's p-adic capabilities, and a discussion of future plans.

The lecture will be a basic introduction to multigridtechniques. It will cover somebackground on stationary iterative methods. The two maincomponents of linearmultigrid algorithms: smoothing and coarse-grid correction willbe introduced. A twogrid algorithm will be introduced that then leads to thedescription of the multilevel VandW-cycles. A bri...

Mixed-integer nonlinear optimization (MINLO) models contain both integer decision variables and nonlinear functions in the objective or constraints. We first provide some example applications for this class of optimization model. Techniques for solving MINLO problems when the nonlinear functions are convex are briefly discussed. We then present ...

Image compression, as a subset of image processing, intersects many areas of applied mathematics. In this talk, I will describe and compare the "classic" view of image compression, such as the JPEG algorithm and it's variants, against the "new kid on the block", namely compression using neural networks (NN). I will survey the relative merits of ...
