  Speaker: Dr. Emanuel Indrei, Kennesaw State University
  Title: “On the equilibrium shape of a crystal”
  Abstract: Minimizing the free energy under a mass constraint may generate a convex crystal in n−dimensions subject to assumptions on the potential. The problem attributed to Almgren is to understand if this is the case assuming g is convex or more generally if sub-level sets are convex. My talk will address this problem.

Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

  Planning the Feedback Process - How to make Feedback Constructive for Students

  Facilitator: Tris Utschig

This workshop will focus on how to generate effective feedback that is frequent, timely, based on clear criteria, encouraging, and targeted. During the workshop, we will explore some of the research about what makes feedback effective, so that we can help our students move to the next achievable level of performance, no matter what the context for their learning. Participants will leave with a plan to enhance the feedback we provide to our students. Note: identical versions of this workshop are scheduled on two different days in the same week. These will be very similar to workshops with this title from prior years.

  Gameplay Socialization and Symbolic Interaction in Digital Games

  11:30am

  at Prillaman Health Sciences, 2202

  Join us as the Innovative Creativity Research Community hosts an installment of its speaker series on Gameplay Socialization and Symbolic Interaction in Digital Games, featuring Dr. David Kirschner.

   

  Dr. Kirschner earned his PhD in sociology in 2014 from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, where he studied how videogame players are socialized into virtual worlds, including how they learn game rules and social norms through interaction with human and non-human others. Kirschner has since explored topics such as virtual reality sickness, gamification and health activism, gender representation in videogame advertisements, the dynamics of multi-player online gaming, sociological perspectives on role-playing games, and both self-directed and social-emotional learning in videogames. Current research projects include exploring communities of practice among artificial intelligences in single-player videogames and assessing student satisfaction of videogame-based learning in the classroom.

  Mathematics Colloquium seminar series

  3:00pm

  at Mathematics Building, D-237

  Speaker: Dr. Paul Pollack, University of Georgia

  Title: “Unique Factorization: The Rest of the Story”

  Abstract: This talk considers some underappreciated themes related to the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, that each natural number factors uniquely as a product of primes. After reviewing the history, we present two nonstandard proofs, both having a geometric tint. In the second half of the talk, we turn to the question of how it might can quantify the failure of unique factorization in a given integral domain. This leads to the elegant notion of “elasticity.”  Recent progress in understanding elasticity in quadratic orders will be discussed at the end of the talk.

   

  The KSU Mathematics Colloquium is a seminar series that brings in researchers from other universities to present results on all areas of Mathematics. The talks are targeted at general audiences of students and professors.

   

  This seminar will be held in person and virtually.

  Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar

  Speaker: Dr. Henry Lamm, Fermilab
  Title: “Groups, Rings, and Hadrons”
  Abstract: The advent of quantum computation provides an opportunity to solve new problems in theoretical physics. Taking advantage of this new hardware requires efficiently formulating quantum field theories as well as approximating and compiling arbitrary unitary gates from a small set of gates that can be prepared precisely on qubit or qudit devices.  In this talk, I will discuss how algebraic structures arise as a necessary component to running quantum computers, and some outstanding problems related to them.

   

  The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

  Strategic Workshop: The Role of Culture in Strategy

  8:00am

  at Cox Family Enterprise Center

  Culture, particularly in family businesses, plays a crucial role in shaping and implementing business strategy. It encompasses the shared values, beliefs, and practices within that family business, influencing how employees think, make decisions, and interact.
  
  A strong, positive culture aligns with the company's strategic goals, enhancing employee engagement, productivity, and overall performance. It can drive innovation, foster collaboration, and improve customer relations.
  
  Conversely, a misaligned or toxic culture can undermine strategy execution, leading to inefficiencies and reduced competitive advantage. In essence, culture acts as the foundation that supports or hinders the successful implementation of business strategies.
  
  Join Cornelia Bearyman, PhD(c), a foremost strategist and leadership development expert, in this Strategic Workshop hosted by the Family Enterprise Center at KSU as she guides family business leaders to drive clarity, enhance the capability, and build capacity. 

  Date:  Friday, September 27, 2024
  Time:  8:00 - 9:30 a.m. (Doors open at 7:30 a.m.)
  Location:  Family Enterprise Center at KSU | 3207 Campus Loop Road, Kennesaw, GA 30144
