Congrats to Computational Sciences grad student Allie Smith, recipient of the 2012 North Orange County Computer Club scholarship! Smith was presented with a scholarship by NOCCC president Don Armstrong at the opening of their last meeting. In addition to the receiving the scholarship, Smith was invited to speak at the April NOCCC meeting, on computing
Please join us this Friday afternoon for the Inaugural Computational Sciences Graduate Conference. This conference, organized by our graduate students, will highlight some of their work and research. It will take place Friday, April 19, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. in Von Neumann Hall (545 W Palm Avenue). Throughout the conference, students will present on a
It is our pleasure to invite you to a seminar on new methods in geodetic imaging and some of their impacts on measuring the size and shape of the Earth. Next Wednesday, come listen in as Dr. Matt Pritchard, Associate Professor at Cornell University, will be discussing the limitations of GPS technology and the benefits
Chapman University will be screening The Island President documentary addressing climate change and rising sea levels. The Island President is the story of President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives, and his efforts to confront climate change and rising sea levels. A rise of three feet in sea level would submerge the 1,200 islands of the
Schmid College of Science and Technology continues its Science Forum Series next Wednesday with Dr. Rosalee Hellberg, Assistant Professor, Microbial Food Ecology. This talk will provide an overview of the potential effects of climate change and variability on food safety and food-borne illness. Numerous environmental factors, including temperature, acidity, oxygen availability and rainfall can impact
Chapman Senior, Nathan Lawless, achieves high score at the annual Putnam Mathematics Competition. The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is an annual contest that tests some of the brightest mathematics students from colleges across the nation. The competition takes place each year on the first Saturday in December, where over 2000 college students spend 6
A Place at the Table is a film that explores how we have the means to end hunger and malnutrition in America, yet many of our national policies and food industry resources make it almost impossible to do so. The film covers an important discussion that is taking place in the Chapman University Food Science
The School of Computational Sciences is pleased to invite you to a mathematics seminar on “Almost Commuting Matrices”. In this seminar, Mustafa Said (University of California, Irvine) will investigate a variant of an old problem in linear algebra and operator theory that was popularized by Paul Halmos “Must almost commuting matrices be nearly commuting?” He
Dr. Colin Cunliff of the Quantum Gravity Group at University of California, Davis to speak on campus about Massive Gravity. Recent years have seen a surge of interest in theories of massive gravity. These models extend Einstein’s theory of General Relativity by giving mass to the graviton, the particle which carries the gravitational force, and
