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
Chapman University will be participating in World Water Day, the nationwide celebration of water conservation and sustainability.
