SUMMARY:Presentation:Friezes and geometry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A fundamental problem in distance geometry aims to recover a finite tuple of points\, viewed up to oriented isometry\, from a small collection of input measurements. This thesis explores approaches to this problem based on the use of frieze patterns\, numerical arrays whose entries satisfy certain local algebraic relations.\n\nThe thesis consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on quadratic 3-term relations that underlie Coxeter-Conway frieze patterns. It surveys and extends existing work interpreting the values appearing in these relations as geometric measurement data\, and establishes direct connections between several geometric contexts in which these relations arise.\n\nThe aim of the second part of the thesis is to exhibit the broader applicability of frieze patterns as a tool in distance geometry. We identify measurement data that determines a finite configuration of points on a two-dimensional sphere in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Extending the work of Fomin and Setiabrata\, we introduce spherical Heronian and Cayley-Menger frieze patterns that organize this measurement data. Like classical Coxeter-Conway frieze patterns\, these new frieze patterns exhibit glide symmetry and a form of the Laurent phenomenon.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Making Durable Environmental Progress
DESCRIPTION:Nancy Stoner\, senior attorney at the Environmental Law & Policy Center\; former president of the Potomac Riverkeeper Network\; as former Acting Assistant Administrator for Water at the EPA\n\nBased on her decades of experience working to protect the environment\, especially clean water\, Stoner will discuss how to make environmental progress that lasts and that is less vulnerable to governmental transition flip flops and political divisiveness.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Readiness: Preparing State Early Childhood Systems for a Brighter Future
DESCRIPTION:Elliot Regenstein will discuss how state early childhood systems really work – how state governments oversee publicly funded programs\, how community capacity supports state work\, how advocates and philanthropists try to exercise influence\, and how data is used to shape policy.\n\nElliot Regenstein\, Law '99\, is a Chicago-based partner at Foresight Law + Policy. Elliot has extensive experience in state-level policy and advocacy\, with an emphasis on early learning. Much of his work focuses on decision-making in state education and early education systems: who is responsible for which decisions\, what information they have to support those decisions\, and what incentives are acting on key stakeholders.

SUMMARY:Well-being:ResNavs #SoYF Plant a Shamrock
DESCRIPTION:It's time for the luck 'o the Irish\, so stop by and plant a shamrock for your very own lucky charm. Here's some trivia: the word Shamrock is derived from the Irish seamróg\, meaning “young clover\,\" and is thought to ward off evil spirits\, either through the Christian lens of the holy trinity or by Druids believing carrying a three-leaf Shamrock would enable them to escape bad luck. It's also from the Druids that the lore of the leprechaun\, a mischievous elf who plays tricks on humans\, began. \n\nShamrocks\, while their stems are seemingly delicate\, are a pretty hardy plant. Requiring indirect sunlight and good drainage\, they'll thrive outdoors in Michigan summers. (We have some personal experience with growing them\, but we used this website for reference: https://www.planetnatural.com/shamrock-plant/.) Also\, don't confuse them: Shamrocks have three leaves\, while clover has four.\n\nThe odds of finding a four-leaf Shamrock are 1:10\,000\, so why not plant your own\, instead? Caring and nurturing nature is a good for your overall wellbeing\, whether or not you're feeling lucky!\n\nThe #SoYF series (Smile on Your Face) are wellbeing breaks designed to introduce students to the eight facets of the Wolverine Wellness wheel\; for more on the U-M Wellbeing Collective\, visit the website on the right under Links.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10\, 1776\, with an initial print run of just 1\,000 copies\; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.
