SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning Seminar in Algebraic Combinatorics: The Volume Polynomial and the Dragon Hall-Rado formula
DESCRIPTION:We will define the volume polynomial of a graded Poincaré duality algebra and see that it encodes the graded Poincaré duality algebra. In the case where the graded Poincaré duality algebra comes from the Chow ring of a loopless matroid\, we introduce the Dragon Hall-Rado formula\, giving a combinatorial formula for the volume polynomial.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:*Virtual* Internship Exploration at WBD (VIEW) Session
DESCRIPTION:With Summer intern applications closing soon\, this is yourlast call to explore what’s possible and discover where a WBD internship can take you. We’re here to share the “I didn’t know you could do that” moments. What you choose to study shouldn’t limit your professional opportunities\, and Warner Bros. Discovery wants to be part of your journey in discovering all the career paths available to you.Want to have a hand in developing CNN's weather and climate broadcast content\, creating social content to support our CNN stories\, managing employee-led social impact initiatives\, or reviewing CNN pieces for editorial accuracy\, fairness\, and balance? (***Psst...peek the last question...if any of these roles caught your eye\, we’ll be covering them in our VIEW session. Let us know and indicate which ones spark your interest!***)Come join our Virtual Internship Exploration at WBD (VIEW) session\, as we help you prepare your Summer application for these teams before our fast-approaching deadline. Delve into the world beyond the classroom through this virtual event that will feature current interns and our recruiting team\, thatwill give you the chance to gain insights into the many teams that power WBD. You won’t want to miss this closer look at what it’s like to intern with us! Don't miss out-register for this event today!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Building the Cathedral of Quantum Mechanics
DESCRIPTION:The upheaval in quantum theory in the mid-1920s is often presented as a paradigm shift in the sense of Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962). The new quantum mechanics\, to use a building metaphor\, was erected on the ruins of the old quantum theory\, brought down by an accumulation of anomalies. In our book Constructing Quantum Mechanics (2019/2023)\, Tony Duncan and I use a different building metaphor. As suggested by the subtitles of the two volumes of our book\, The Scaffold: 1900–1923 and The Arch: 1923–1927\, we see the architects of the new quantum mechanics using parts of the old quantum theory as scaffolds to build the arch of the new one. In this talk\, after sketching the underlying alternative to Kuhn's account of scientific revolutions in general\, I will give an overview\, as non technical as possible\, of the genesis of quantum mechanics in the period 1900–1927. (Drawings by
Laurent Taudin. Based on joint work with Anthony Duncan of University of Pittsburgh).
