SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Math Grad Show and Tell Seminar: The Mathematics of Domino Tilings
DESCRIPTION:Suppose we have a region that is a bounded subset of the square grid (such as a finite union of squares on an infinite chessboard).  Consider the problem of tiling this region with 1x2 and 2x1 dominoes.  There are several questions that arise: \n– How can we tell whether such a region is tileable in the first place?\n– If such a region is tileable\, then how many tilings exist?\n– What does a \"typical\" tiling look like?\nIn this talk\, we will introduce several theorems that answer these questions\, and explore basic examples that illustrate these results.  We will also see how tilings of large Aztec diamonds can create some interesting surfaces!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Securing the Vote: Technology\, Evidence\, and Trust in the 2026 Midterm Elections
DESCRIPTION:How secure are our elections\, and how do we know?\n\nWith the November midterm elections approaching\, join University of Michigan experts and election-security leaders for a timely\, nonpartisan discussion about the systems\, technologies\, and safeguards that protect elections and help verify results.\n\nModerated by U-M Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer Ravi Pendse\, the panel will feature J. Alex Halderman\, the Bredt Family Professor of Engineering and an election-cybersecurity researcher\; Walter Mebane\, professor of political science and statistics and an expert in election forensics\; and Mara Ostfeld\, research associate professor of public policy and an expert in survey research and public opinion. Together\, they will examine cybersecurity threats to election infrastructure\, voting technology and verification\, the role of audits and evidence in evaluating results\, and the challenge of maintaining public confidence in a rapidly changing information environment. \n\nDesigned for a broad audience\, the conversation will consider how experts identify genuine risks\, evaluate claims\, strengthen election resilience\, and support transparency and trust.\n\nMonday\, October 12\, 2026 • 3-4 p.m.\nUniversity Hall\, Alexander G. Ruthven Building\n1109 Geddes Ave.\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\n\nThe moderated panel will be followed by an audience question-and-answer period. \n\nThe event is open to U-M students\, faculty\, and staff.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture and Health (Massy Mutumba)
DESCRIPTION:RCGD Fall 2026 Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture & Health\, meets Mondays 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 6050.\n\nGlobal Perspectives on Culture and Health explores fundamental aspects of human life. Culture facilitates human interaction by providing meaning to lived experience. Accounting for culture in both theories and methods potentially advances the study of health by connecting the macro and micro levels of human experience. Yet\, culture should be understood as dynamic and complex. It fundamentally shapes individuals and simultaneously is shaped by individuals. The importance of systematically attending to culture includes topics of values\, language\, immigration\, and society.\n\nTheories and methods that incorporate culture hold great potential for advancing the understanding of health outcomes and health trajectories in various global contexts.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on various aspects of culture and diverse groups living in the U.S. and across the globe to address the ways in which attending to culture helps clarify and overcome challenges to good health.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 6050\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Kristine Ajrouch and Sela Panapasa\nEvents are not recorded
