Math Club & AWM - Rich Internship Math Presentation
Sept. 13, 2019
Tuesday, Sept.17th, 12:45-1:45 in NAC 6/310 Rich Summer
Internship participants, Joe Winter and Samuel Young, will be
giving presentations on their work in two exciting fields.
Joe Winter
My work focuses on the dynamical system known as the perturbed
doubling map, a function on the complex plane that maps a complex
number z to z-squared + c, where c is a complex number known as the
perturbation constant. My talk will detail computational approaches
to estimating and visualizing the Julia set of this map. I will
also discuss strategies used to estimate periodic points of the map
which are then used to explore the relation between c and the
maximization of a particular potential.
Samuel Young
The abstract commensurator of a group, Comm(G), generalizes the
notion of the automorphism group Aut(G). We study a new variation
of Comm(F_2), which embeds in Comm(F_2), which we show is not
locally residually finite.
There will be pizza and refreshments!
