UTSA will create the PIVOT program to increase student engagement, retention and graduation. The program aims to support six goals, including increasing associate's degree completion and bachelor's degree graduation among specific student populations.
Researchers at Emory University and the University of Queensland have found a framework for the celebrated Rogers-Ramanujan identities, revealing a treasure trove of algebraic numbers and formulas. The breakthrough solves a century-old mystery surrounding Indian math genius Srinivasa Ramanujan's work.
Dieter Kotschick solved Hirzebruch's problem, determining that most Chern numbers depend on algebraic structure of a variety, not topological properties. The breakthrough resolves the relationship between flexible and rigid geometric objects.
Shelly Harvey's discovery applies to a longstanding problem within knot theory, but its significance lies in the broader context of topology. The underlying structure she uncovered uses algebraic structures to describe similarities and differences between knotted shapes, offering a new approach to proving equivalency.
