Algebraic Complexity Theory, Jerzy Weyman Oct 2015

Algebraic Complexity Theory, Jerzy Weyman

Dalrymple Lecture Series

I will discuss the basic notions related to the complexity theory. The classes of P and NP problems will be defined, with examples given. Besides discussing the statements of the problems, I will talk about the effectiveness of algorithms used in linear algebra (multiplying matrices and solving the systems of linear equations). No previous knowledge of complexity theory will be assumed, however some knowledge of linear algebra (matrices and their multiplication) will be needed.

Primes And Zeros: A Million Dollar Mystery, Brian Conrey Apr 2015

Primes And Zeros: A Million Dollar Mystery, Brian Conrey

Dalrymple Lecture Series

A prime number is an integer greater than one whose only positive divisors are 1 and itself. In 1859 G. F. B. Riemann proposed a way to understand how the prime numbers are distributed among the natural numbers. More than 150 years later mathematicians still have not proven Riemann's Hypothesis. The stature of this problem has continued to rise so that today it is widely regarded as the most important unsolved problem in all of mathematics. In this talk I will describe some of the colorful history that surrounds this question.

Armstrong Calculus, Michael Tiemeyer, Jared Schlieper Apr 2015

Armstrong Calculus, Michael Tiemeyer, Jared Schlieper

Mathematics Open Textbooks

Authors' Description:

An open-source textbook for calculus.

The text is mostly an adaptation of two other excellent open- source calculus textbooks: Active Calculus by Dr. Matt Boelkins of Grand Valley State University and Drs. Gregory Hartman, Brian Heinold, Troy Siemers, Dimplekumar Chalishajar, and Jennifer Bowen of the Virginia Military Institute and Mount Saint Mary's University. Both of these texts can be found at http://aimath.org/textbooks/approved-textbooks/.

The authors of this text have combined sections, examples, and exercises from the above two texts along with some of their own content to generate this text. The impetus for the creation of this text …

Introduction To The Modeling And Analysis Of Complex Systems, Hiroki Sayama Jan 2015

Introduction To The Modeling And Analysis Of Complex Systems, Hiroki Sayama

Milne Open Textbooks

Keep up to date on Introduction to Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems at http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~sayama/textbook/!

Introduction to the Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems introduces students to mathematical/computational modeling and analysis developed in the emerging interdisciplinary field of Complex Systems Science. Complex systems are systems made of a large number of microscopic components interacting with each other in nontrivial ways. Many real-world systems can be understood as complex systems, where critically important information resides in the relationships between the parts and not necessarily within the parts themselves. This textbook offers an accessible yet technically-oriented introduction to the modeling and …
