DRA ADRIANA SALERNO - "Un cuento circular: Introducción a la geometría algebraica"
Abstract: En esta charla, veremos una de las facetas más emocionantes de la teoría de números moderna: la geometría aritmética. Comenzaremos con una introducción gradual a esta área de investigación a través de ejemplos conocidos. Luego nos enfocaremos en un ejemplo no tan conocido, y contaremos soluciones de ecuaciones módulo p, un número primo. Terminaremos intentando responder dos de las preguntas mas antiguas y desconcertantes: ¿qué lugar tiene esto en el panorama general de las matemáticas, y a quién le importa?
DR ADRIANA SALERNO - "A circular tale: an introduction to arithmetic geometry"
Abstract: In this talk, I will show you a glimpse of one of the most exciting facets of research in modern number theory: arithmetic geometry. We will start with a (gentle) introduction to this area of research through some familiar examples. Then we will move on to a not so familiar example where we count solutions of equations mod p. I will end by answering two of the oldest and most mystifying questions in mathematics: how does this work fit into the bigger picture, and who cares?

Biografía
Adriana Salerno, nacida y criada en Caracas, Venezuela, estudió matemáticas en la Universidad Simón Bolívar. Obtuvo su doctorado en la Universidad de Texas, Austin, en el área de teoría de números. Adriana explora en su trabajo de investigación las intersecciones entre la teoría de números y otras áreas, como la geometría, la física, la teoría de códigos, y la criptografía. Le encanta la divulgación y es apasionada de la justicia e inclusión en ciencia y matemáticas. Fue co-fundadora y escritora (por más de una década) de dos blogs de la AMS, "Ph.D. plus epsilon" y "inclusion/exclusion". Su trabajo de educadora en Bates College fue reconocido con el premio de educación del MAA Northeastern Section en el 2021 y el premio Haimo en el 2023. Es profesora de matemáticas en Bates College y directora de programas en la National Science Foundation.

MATH FOR ALL IN BOULDER 2025
April 5th 2025
A Conference on Math Education and Research
Math for all has the purpose of fostering inclusivity in mathematics by holding talks and discussions in both research and education. This conference will be geared towards undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs, and faculty members from all institutions in the Front Range region. The goal of Math For All in Boulder is to provide a friendly, open environment to learn and discuss mathematics. This a satellite conference from Math For All in New Orleans.

Ethical conduct agreement
One of the main goals of Math For All is to create a welcoming environment for all participants. We wish for every participant to feel welcome, included, and safe at our conference. For that reason, we ask you to be mindful of your words and actions when communicating with others. We all have a bias and make mistakes. With an open mind and a willingness to apologize, we can create a safe space for everybody.
Harassment or discrimination of any kind based on race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression will not be permitted.
Hate speech is not permitted at the conference. We want to clarify that hate speech does not include the criticism of institutions or governments, but rather that of individuals or groups of individuals, and that we welcome uncomfortable conversations that stimulate a growth mind set.
If there is a situation during the conference that makes you feel unwelcome, we ask you to please talk to one of the organizers so we can help you as best as we can.
We acknowledge and pay tribute to the original inhabitants of this land. Native peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial, and the resilient voices of Native Americans remain an inseparable part of our local culture. With gratitude and honor, we acknowledge the indigenous nations that have lived and continue to thrive in all conference locations.
Official CU Boulder Acknowledgement:
The University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado’s flagship university, honors and recognizes the many contributions of Indigenous peoples in our state. CU Boulder acknowledges that it is located on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and many other Native American nations. Their forced removal from these territories has caused devastating and lasting impacts. While the University of Colorado Boulder can never undo or rectify the devastation wrought on Indigenous peoples, we commit to improving and enhancing engagement with Indigenous peoples and issues locally and globally.
We will do this by:
Recognizing and amplifying the voices of Indigenous CU Boulder students, staff and faculty and their work.
Educating, conducting research, supporting student success and integrating Indigenous knowledge.
Consulting, engaging and working collaboratively with tribal nations to enhance our ability to provide access and culturally sensitive support and to recruit, retain and graduate Native American students in a climate that is inclusive and respectful.

This conference is partially funded by DEI Impact Grant at CU, NSF and the Department of Mathematics at the University of Colorado Boulder.
