background: failure in reaching the predetermined goals of education can be considered as one of the most important problems of educational systems. today, it is believed that active teaching methods are more effective than lecturing which lead to effective teaching. participation of students in education is one of the major factors of active learning. the purpose of the present study is to det...

This project concerns the most effective dimension reduction (EDR) space in functional regression settings. Our investigation is motivated by finding a smaller set of derived variables that contains just as much predictive power as the original set. The main idea originated from cumulative slicing for multivariate data in Zhu et al. (2010 JASA), which assesses the EDR space by cumulatively pool...

A Socratic seminar can be a powerful tool for increasing students' ability to analyze and interpret data. Most commonly used for text-based discussion, we found that using Socratic seminar to engage students with data contributes to student understanding by allowing them to reason through and process complex information as a group. This approach also provides teachers with insights about studen...

This talk is based primarily on the paper Interlacing Families I: Bipartite Ramanujan Graphs of All Degrees by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava [6]. By proving a variant of a conjecture of Bilu and Linial [1], they show that there exist infinite families of d-regular bipartite Ramanujan graphs for d ≥ 3. Of particular interest in the paper by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava is their “method of...

We are familiar with the idea that a curve is a 1-dimensional object and a surface is 2-dimensional. What is the “dimension” of a set having infinite length but zero area? Similarly, the Cantor set has Lebesgue measure zero, but in some ways it is quite large (it is uncountable). How to quantify its size? In this talk we will answer these questions through the notions of Hausdorff measure and d...

Mathematical modeling is a scientific attempt to describe real life phenomena using mathematical tools. Each model consists of a set of variable parameters and rules of evolution for these parameters. By applying these rules to the model’s parameters, one can learn a lot about the phenomenon in question, and, based on the results, make informed decisions, predict the future, or make the optimal...
