Does “not tiny” data ever qualify as big enough when marginalized people do not have the resources to produce, self-categorize, analyze, or store “big data”? How can algorithms support projects of resistance and resilience, rather than merely enact processes of data sorting and surveillance? In which ways can data visualization multiply rather than simplify narratives? […]

What do 1) counting curves in the projective plane with tangency conditions along to a line and a conic; 2) counting disks in affine 3-space meeting a Lagrangian and 3) counting curves in the local Calabi-Yau fourfold geometry determined by the projective plane have in common? It turns out, quite a bit. This is joint work with […]

We'll go through Putnam exam problems together and learn a ton of awesome mathematical facts and general problem solving strategies along the way

Snacks Provided!

Wednesday Registration Closes - end of period for adding courses - last day for dropping courses without record entry, changes in grade option, and tuition and fee adjustment

Kimberlé Crenshaw’s scholarship on Black women has been the springboard for numerous education studies in which researchers use intersectionality as a theoretical framework; however, few have considered the possibilities of intersectionality as a methodological tool. Dr. Haynes Davison will offer recommendations for quantitative scholars interested in using their research to address the intersectional erasure and […]

Come to Putnam practices on Tuesdays at noon to learn advanced mathematical tools and techniques in contexts outside the classroom. Bring a bagged lunch, since if it's nice out we'll end practice by eating together outside on the lawn.

educ8-flyer-color-final Come join us for the first meeting of Educ8, the new Math Education Club at CSU! We're a club for everything math education - math teaching practices, research, theory, and how to navigate a career in mathematics teaching and learning. Please reach out to ciera.street@colostate.edu with any questions!

Dear friends of FRAGMENT, this week we are pleased to have our  former own Olivia Dumitrescu (U. North Carolina) as our FRAGMENT speaker In this talk, we construct examples of rigid curves in P^n that we call (-1) curves. We investigate moving curves in P^n that we call (0) and (1) curves and we explore their […]

Inflection Point is a student run peer mentoring group for students at CSU taking ANY math class. This group is run by CSU students who identify as students of color and first generation students, and it was created to be a space to center the experience of these groups of students but is open to […]

It is my pleasure to announce that our speaker this week will be Ariel Weiss (Ben Gurion University). Since our speaker this week is zooming in from Israelwe will have the seminar at the unusual time of 1pm. Title, abstract and zoom coords are here: Prime torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich groups of abelian varieties over […]

The next QSIDE colloquium (https://qsideinstitute.org/events/qside-colloquium/) is Thursday February 24, at 2pm Mountain (=4pm Eastern). The virtual talk will consist of around 40 minutes of presentation by the speaker and 20 minutes of Q+A from both panel and general participants. After the talk, there will be a 30 minute tea time conversation you are welcome to […]
