Patterns in Permutations (Lara Pudwell) - MAA MathFest 2023

Friday, August 4, 2023 MAA MathFest 2023 Chan Stanek Lecture for Students Patterns in Permutations Lara Pudwell, Valparaiso University A permutation is a list where order matters. Despite this humble definition, permutations offer a wealth of beautiful mathematics that can be applied across scientific disciplines. Starting simply, with lists of numbers, we'll discuss how smaller permutations can be embedded into larger permutations along with a host of interesting counting problems with connections not just to mathematics, but to computer science, chemistry, and more. Biography: Lara Pudwell is a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Valparaiso University. She earned her undergraduate degrees (BS in mathematics, BA in computer science) from Valparaiso in 2003 and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Rutgers University in 2008. Her work in the classroom has been recognized with the 2014 Henry L. Alder Award for Distinguished Teaching from the MAA and the 2021-2022 Valparaiso University Excellence in Teaching Award. Outside of the classroom, she is a past Chair of the Indiana Section of the MAA and she has served for 11 years on the steering committee of the International Conference on Permutation Patterns. She is a coauthor of A Mathematician's Practical Guide to Mentoring Undergraduate Research (MAA Press, 2019) and spent a decade directing the Valparaiso Experience in Research by Undergraduate Mathematicians (VERUM) program. She is also the Executive Director of MathPath, a national residential summer camp for middle schoolers who love mathematics. Every summer, MAA MathFest presents the latest in mathematical research and education to diverse audiences across the nation. As the largest community of mathematicians, students, and enthusiasts, MAA is proud to bring an interactive, accessible, and informative experience to you this year.
