SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STeMS Speaker Series | \"The Languages of Babylonian Astronomical Science\"
DESCRIPTION:Babylonian astronomers were renowned throughout the ancient world both for their observations and predictions. By the middle-to-late first millennium BCE\, when these astronomers wrote down their descriptions of celestial phenomena in the form of omina\, reports\, or diaries\, they did so in the standard language of scholarship of the time — Babylonian\, or what we often call Akkadian. Or did they? Compared to other scholarly texts\, astronomical texts actually show a predilection for terminology and alternative written expressions that make these texts look more like a different language\, Sumerian\, a language that had fallen out of vernacular use more than 1\,000 years earlier. \nBy employing this technical\, almost specialized\, linguistic form\, these astronomers demonstrated a level of expertise that set them apart from other domains of scholarship and presented them as purveyors of scientific truth beyond terrestrial concerns.\n\nJay Crisostomo's research focuses on the languages and intellectual and social histories of the cuneiform cultures of the ancient Middle East. Crisostomo chooses to study and teach the ancient Middle East (roughly ancient Iraq and Syria) because of the vast amounts of contextualized data available mostly on hundreds of thousands of clay tablets of various kinds over three thousand years.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Student Combinatorics: Scattering Correspondence and Schubert Calculus
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by physics\, we define the scattering equations and count the number of solutions separated by irreducible components of the scattering correspondence. We then define a subvariety V(k\,n) of the Grassmannian Gr(k\,n) and show that the coefficient in front of a special Schubert class in the fundamental class of V(k\,n) counts the solutions to scattering correspondence component by component. Finally\, we study V(3\,n)\, giving its fundamental class and its ideal in Plücker coordinates.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\n**This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session. If you’ve attended that session in the past\, you’ll gain additional knowledge from this session.**\n\nRegister for a Session Here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/16509

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Zero cycles on a product of elliptic curves
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: I will discuss some numerical evidence for part of the Bloch-Beilinson conjecture for zero cycles on a product of elliptic curves over a number field\, namely the injectivity of the Abel-Jacobi map modulo torsion. These examples were computed around ten years ago (in joint work with V. Srinivas) but never published. To a large extent\, this work has been superseded by recent work of Valia Gazaki and Jonathan Love\, nevertheless the original examples and methods (which are somewhat different) may be of some interest.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE 813: Brainstorming ways to mitigate the cognitive overload placed on healthcare workers
DESCRIPTION:In the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape\, providers face increasing demands that lead to a higher risk of errors\, patient biases\, task abandonment\, and burnout. This seminar aims to address the pervasive issue of extraneous cognitive load within the healthcare system. Participants from a variety of disciplines will explore strategies to streamline communication\, reduce cognitive burden\, and optimize workflows by prioritizing essential tasks.\n\nJoin us in person or via Zoom in uncovering ways to cut through the noise and reshape healthcare practices\, ensuring a more sustainable and effective system for both providers and patients.\n\nFor more information\, email ioe813-cheps@umich.edu
