11:00 - SEMINAR - Development of a Mathematical Modeling Platform to Explore Effects of Different Drug Treatments in Patients with Multiple Myeloma
|
More Information
|
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is an incurable blood cancer with 70% of patients exhibiting osteolytic bone lesions. Besides use of bisphosphonates such as Pamidronate, a couple of novel targeted agents such as Denosumab have shown great promise to improve MM-driven bone loss. Just recently, an integrated (...)

18:00 - PUBLIC LECTURE - How to think about the structure and dynamics of the brain using mathematics
|
Website |
More Information
|
This talk will be a brief introduction to two topics on which it has proved possible to learn about how the brain may work using methods of mathematical physics. It has some relevance to the way in which theorists approach the problems of the shape, structure, and distribution of galaxies, and of (...)

|
Website |
More Information
|
Suppose one wants to recover an unknown signal x in R^n from a given vector Ax=b in R^m of linear measurements of the signal x. If the number of measurements m is less than the degrees of freedom n of the signal, then the problem is underdetermined and the solution x is not unique. However, if we (...)

14:00 - SEMINAR - Statistics Seminar : Near Matches and Applications
|
More Information
|
Abstract:
When two judges rank the same n objects, we say a “near match of order k” occurs on the i-th object if their ranks for this, are close to within k. Of interest is the number of near matches in such a context, and its large-sample distribution. Applications to a (...)

Abstract:
The Bock iteration (Bock, 1983) is a method for the minimization of an objective function in the form of a sum of squares subject to a set of equality constraints. It was formulated originally as a method for solving the problem of estimating parameters in a system of (...)
