HAPPENING VIRTUALLY: SIAM Annual Meeting (AN21)

Minitutorials


Date and Time:
Monday, July 19, 9:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Eastern Time (UTC-4)

Organizer and Speaker:
Anthony Bonifonte, Denison University, U.S.

Description:
Talking to other people is hard. Talking to non-mathematicians about math is even harder. In this minitutorial we will learn and practice techniques for oral communication with non-technical experts. Whether you are describing your linear algebra final project to grandma, showing your neighbor how to use calculus to optimize their chicken coop, or convincing politicians why they should fund math research, explaining the role and value of mathematics to non-experts is a necessary skill. We will engage in a number of hands-on activities demonstrating good practices for communicating math and its value, learn to identify and target specific audiences, and practice explaining your own work to mathematical novices. All age and education levels welcome.

Date and Time
Monday, July 19, 9:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Eastern Time (UTC-4)

Organizers:
Joseph Hart, Sandia National Laboratories, U.S.
Wesley Hamilton, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, U.S.

Speakers:
Grey Ballard, Wake Forest University, U.S.
Rémi Flamary, CMAP, Ecole Polytechnique, France
Emilie Purvine, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, U.S.
Lars Ruthotto, Emory University, U.S.

Description:
This set of tutorials provides an accessible introduction to areas of active research in applied mathematics. The tutorials lay a foundation for ideas, methodologies, and tools which have been recently developed or come to prominence. The session features four 50-minute tutorials aimed to provide non-experts an introduction to areas of active research that are expected to recur in talks throughout the conference and future meetings. In particular, these four tutorials will touch on aspects of emerging data science topics such generative modeling, tensor decompositions, topological data analysis, and optimal transport.
