Department of Mathematics — Fall/Winter 2014
Department of Mathematics Spring/Summer 2014 Math Times Department of Mathematics — Fall/Winter 2014 Internships provide new opportunities for graduate students Students arrive at graduate school passionate about Summer internships provide work experience, confidence, mathematics—but unsure of where it might lead them later in and sometimes even a job offer after graduation. The growth life. Perhaps to a university professorship doing research and of interest from our graduate students in these research and teaching, or to a government agency working on cryptography, development positions is striking: seventeen students went this or a national lab modeling disaster response, or to industry summer to internships in industry, government and scientific labs. doing data analytics or a position in consulting or finance. Some internships from summer 2014 include: Students receive both a “push” and a “pull” from the job market in determining their career direction. • Stephen Berning, Han Wang and Sishen Zhou—vehicle routing algorithms and inverse problems for crop yield The “push” is that the number of PhDs granted in the maps, at John Deere’s Technology and Innovation Center mathematical sciences nationwide has increased almost 90% in (UI Research Park). the past twelve years, while tenure-track job openings remain essentially flat. Our graduates still fare well when seeking • Jed Chou and Anna Weigandt—image-segmentation for academic positions, but the intense competition pushes many video conferences, at Personify (a UI startup). students to reconsider their nonacademic options. • Erin Compaan and Lisa Hickok—network behavioral analytics and uncovering latent factors through machine learning and linear algebra, in organizations within the Department of Defense. -

Final Report (PDF)
Recent Advances in Algebraic and Enumerative Combinatorics Sara Billey (University of Washington), Ian Goulden (University of Waterloo), Curtis Greene (Haverford College), David Jackson (University of Waterloo), Richard Stanley (MIT). May 3{May 8, 2003 1 A short overview of the subject area Algebraic and enumerative combinatorics is concerned with objects that have both a combinato- rial and an algebraic interpretation. It is a highly active area of the mathematical sciences, with many connections and applications to other areas, including algebraic geometry, representation the- ory, topology, mathematical physics and statistical mechanics. Enumerative questions arise in the mathematical sciences for a variety of reasons. For example, non-combinatorial structures often have a discrete substructure when they are studied up to topological equivalence. Moreover, some non-combinatorial structures can be discretized, and are therefore susceptible to combinatorial tech- niques, and the original question is then recovered by the appropriate limit taking (the dimer problem in statistical mechanics is an instance of this). Algebraic and enumerative combinatorics is a highly active area of the mathematical sciences, and was the subject of a special year at MSRI in 1996/97, organized by Billera, Bjorner, Greene, Stanley and Simion. The one week workshop at BIRS focussed on three topics, discussed in detail below, in which substantial progress has been made in the last five years. The topics are interrelated, as is essential for a workshop of this length. The workshop was successful in bringing together a very strong international collection of active researchers in algebraic and enumerative combinatorics, as well as other areas of the mathematical sciences in which substantial enumerative questions with a strong algebraic or analytic foundation have arisen. -
