It involves writing and speaking about mathem atics\, writing about teaching mathematics\, and preparing for teaching lo wer-level mathematics courses. I would like to share and discuss with you my goals and philosophy and the objectives and methods involved in achievi ng a high level of awareness and skill in communicating mathematics in all capacities.\n\nSpeaker's bio: PhD from University of Arizona (integrable systems)\; Postdoc Duke University\; Professorial faculty at LSU (applicat ions of spectral theory)\; Director of Graduate Studies for five years\; 9 PhD students graduated\; 5 NSF grants\; some teaching awards.\n\nModerato r's bio: Irfan Alam is an autistic mathematician\, currently working as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Computer and Mathematical Science s at University of Toronto Scarborough. He completed the BMath and MMath p rograms at the Indian Statistical Institute (2009-2014)\, before joining L ouisiana State University as a graduate student\, where he obtained his Ph D in mathematics as well as MA in Philosophy in 2021. Irfan’s mathematic al focus is on applications of nonstandard analysis to standard mathematic s\, especially in probability theory\, topology\, and lately in the founda tions of machine learning. He also works on the philosophy of mathematical practice\, with particular interests in the history of infinitesimals and in epistemic injustices in mathematics caused by various socio-cultural n orms.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/CompMath/40/ URL:https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/82374967644?pwd=rb8iRmyfVI1jsU7j0hhIbR9uQ8T D4I.1 URL:https://www.youtube.com/@Relatorium END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
