Recent and upcoming talks
- Skolem functions for a class of weakly o-minimal structures, April 19, 2011, Logic seminar at University of Illinois Chicago [Abstract] [Slides]
A longer version of a talk presenting recent advances to work on definable choice in weakly o-minimal structures.
- Ordered structures, o-minimality, and definable choice, March 14, 2011, Model theory seminar at Carnegie Mellon University [Abstract]
An introductory talk on the model theory of ordered structures, leading to a discussion of Skolem functions in weakly o-minimal structures. (Chalk)
- Definable choice for a class of weakly o-minimal structures, January 8, 2011, Winter meeting of the Association for Symbolic Logic, at the Joint Meetings of the AMS and MAA in New Orleans, LA [Abstract] [Slides]
This talk will be a presentation of material from the preprint of the same name.
- The war on apathy in a terminal statistics course: Motivating definitions from day one, January 8, 2011, MAA contributed paper session at the Joint Meetings of the AMS and MAA in New Orleans, LA [Slides]
A brief description of how a motivated survey given and tabulated in a few minutes can help to motivate definitions of average and understanding of a continuous random variable.
- Weakly o-minimal structures and Skolem functions, March 10, 2010, George Washington University Logic Seminar [Slides]
The talk was intended for a general audience of mathematicians,
and should be accessible to the non-model theorist, although some familiarity with the basic concepts (definition of
a model, understanding of formulas and definable sets) would be useful.
- Definability in weakly o-minimal structures, April 13, 2007, University of Maryland graduation seminar [Slides]
Invited speakers for the conference were the
spring graduates
and the winners of the Spotlight
on Graduate Research competition from
the Fall. The talk is intended for a general graduate student audience.
