Seminar

What is a Seminar?

The Mathematics Program has two seminars: The Undergraduate Mathematics Seminar, and the Graduate Mathematics Seminar.  The seminars consist of invited lectures on contemporary mathematics and applications of mathematics to other areas of study and life. Topics have included mathematics education, physics, mathematics research, and interdisciplinary applications of mathematics, like biological and ecological mathematical modeling.

The Undergraduate Mathematics Seminar is held during Math 499: Senior Colloquium every Monday 4:30-5:20PM.  The Math 599: Graduate Mathematics Seminar is held every Monday 6:00-7:00PM.  Please email Dr. Jennifer Brown at jennifer.brown@csuci.edu for the graduate seminar (Math 599) and Dr. Ivona Grzegorczyk at ivona.grzegorczyck@csuci.edu for the undergraduate seminar (Math 499). Please see check back periodically. Everyone is invited to attend! 

The Undergraduate and Graduate Mathematics Seminars are sponsored by Instructional Related Activities Funds.

What are the strengths of this series?

The seminars give our students the opportunity to see math at work. There is a good portion of our enrolled undergraduates that are interested in teaching. While we make sure to bring in speakers that discuss mathematics education, we also want our students to experience other fields. We do so by exposing them to the careers in mathematical research, academia, and industry via our speakers. Our students have the opportunity to follow up with the speakers if they wish, thus widening their network.
