"Python and Jupyter for Teaching and Learning"
Jupyter notebook is an open source web application for creating documents which include text, code, data, equations and graphics. We will take a tour of the Jupyter ecosystem including JupyterHub for hosting computational environments, nbgitpuller for sharing notebooks, nbgrader for autograding assignments and Python packages for mathematical computing.

"Generalized superminimal surfaces and holomorphic representation (Part 2)"
I will continue from where we left off last time. We have related conformal minimal immersions of a domain in the complex plane into R^n to harmonic maps, and packaged them in terms of holomorphic data. We have also discussed complex maps and superminimal maps as special cases. This time we will fit these special cases into a hierarchy using complex analysis.

"Shotgun assembly of Erdos-Renyi graphs"
We show that in the regime p>n^{-1/2} polylog(n), the unlabeled G(n,p) random graph can be uniquely reconstructed from its 1-neighborhoods with probability close to one, answering a question of Gaudio and Mossel. Based on joint work with Han Huang.
This seminar will be held jointly online and in person.
