With her husband’s marketing degree and her degree of Administrative Assistant (plus building her team as a Mary Kay consultant for many years), they dreamed of creating something from nothing and making it their own. One day while brainstorming ideas for a new business, her husband said, “What is something we have every day, multiple times a day?” Nicole responded, “That’s easy, we get a Sonic (Diet Coke). He responded, “What if we build a business with just drive-thru fountain drinks?” And that is how Swig came to be!

Struggling with Mathematics: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful!

Conference/Seminar

The ways in which we have traditionally used the word “struggle” in mathematics need to change. All students need GOOD opportunities to struggle with concepts in mathematics in order to make sense of the world around them. No student should be told that they are BAD at math by being labeled as low or struggling. Each individual student deserves guidance to find ways to use their strengths as mathematical assets. We, as teachers of mathematics, can facilitate a classroom in which all students contribute their strengths and learn from others’ strengths to create a class unified in the goal of learning and growing. It is then that both teacher and student alike will see the BEAUTIFUL designs in the seemingly random collections of people, numbers, opportunities, and challenges. These claims will be presented in the context of Dr. DeLeeuw’s personal experiences as a Utah high school teacher and university professor and supported by his and others’ research about mathematics education.

Applied Mathematics Seminar: Extreme First Passage Times of Diffusion

Conference/Seminar

Speaker: Sean D Lawley, Department of Mathematics, University of Utah

Abstract: Why do 300 million sperm cells search for the oocyte in human fertilization when only a single sperm cell is necessary? Why do 1000 calcium ions enter a dendritic spine when only two ions are necessary to activate the relevant receptors? The seeming redundancy in these and many other biological systems can be understood in terms of extreme first passage time (FPT) theory.

While FPT theory is often used to estimate timescales in biology, the overwhelming majority of studies focus on the time it takes a given single searcher to find a target. However, in many scenarios the more relevant timescale is the FPT of the first searcher to find a target from a large group of searchers. This fastest FPT depends on extremely rare events and it is often orders of magnitude faster than the FPT of a given single searcher. In this talk, we will explain recent results in extreme FPT theory and show how they modify traditional notions of diffusion timescales.
