« 3/2 - 4/1 »	Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA Contact: University Art Gallery Description: UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts presents Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design Featuring recent student work from Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography Exhibition Dates: 3/2- 4/1 Reception: Tuesday, March 3rd, 4 pm to 6 pm Artist Talk at 5 pm during the reception, titled Re.Membered: The Art of Collaboration The UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts is pleased to present the third annual Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design on display from March 2 through April 1, 2015. The opening reception will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 4 to 6 pm, with the Artist Talk, presented by students of both Design and Art History at 5 pm. This exhibition features recent work from students in Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography, along with a slide show of these same young artists engaged in activities and processes relative to their CVPA experience. The Department of Visual Design is a cluster of professionally-oriented options: Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography. Visual design is an art form, a craft, and a means of information dissemination for education, business, commerce, editorial and entertainment industries. Students earning their BFA in one of these four areas explore visual communication in the widest sense, employing both traditional (analog) and contemporary electronic and computer technologies. The examples in this exhibition demonstrate that our broadly educated student visual artists/designers are both literate and articulate and capable of participating on many levels of a wide variety of projects. Bringing together both print and digital media, this exhibition provides insight into how Junior students use visual design as a method of communication.

4:00 PM - 5:00 PM	"India at the mathematical crossroads: the pre-modern world's mathematical sciences and their Indian influences" Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Stoico/FIRST FED Charitable Foundation Grand Reading Room Contact: Center for Indic Studies Description: Speaker: Dr. Kim Plofker Spring 2015 Seminar Series for Center for Indic Studies. For hundreds of years before the rediscovery of ancient Greek texts in the Renaissance temporarily fixed the world's mathematical center of gravity in the Latin scientific literature of Europe, the Indian subcontinent had been a major hub of mathematical innovation and transmission. From decimal place-value numerals in medieval West Asia and Europe, to calendric computations in Southeast Asia, to trigonometric techniques in Chinese astronomy, a significant portion of pre-modern mathematical knowledge emerged from or passed through the vast corpus of India's Sanskrit scientific tradition. This talk explores some of the missing links in the historical development and spread of mathematics that have been reconstructed from the study of Indian sources. Bio: Kim Plofker is Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Union College in New York. She is the author of Mathematics in India (Princeton 2009) and many articles on the history of the exact sciences in India, Islam and early modern Europe.

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM	Computational Science Seminar Location: Textiles Building 105 Contact: Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research Description: The Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research announces the following seminar. Speaker: Daniele Venturi (Brown University) Title: "Coarse-graining high-dimensional random systems: the probability density function approach" Time: Tuesday, March 24, 2015, 3:30pm-4:30pm Location: Textiles 105 Abstract: In this talk, I will present different methods to develop reduced-order equations for the probability density function (PDF) of quantities of interest (phase space functions) in high-dimensional stochastic dynamical systems. In principle, this allows us to avoid computing high-dimensional stochastic flows and reduce a great mass of information to a more tractable and more interesting form (the PDF evolution of a low-dimensional quantity of interest). I will discuss two different classes of methods to achieve this goal: the first one is based on separated series expansions such as proper generalized decomposition (PGD) or high-dimensional model representations (HDMR). When applied to high-dimensional systems, these methods yield a hierarchy of low-dimensional PDF equations that resembles the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon (BBGKY) hierarchy of kinetic gas theory. The second approach stems from techniques of irreversible statistical mechanics, in particular the Mori-Zwanzig (MZ) formulation, and it yields directly formally exact equations for the PDF of quantities of interest. I will address the question of approximation of MZ-PDF equations by multi-level coarse graining, perturbation series and operator cumulant resummation. Throughout the presentation I will provide numerical examples and applications of the proposed methods to prototype stochastic problems, such as the Lorenz-96 system, stochastic advection-reaction and stochastic Burgers equations.

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM	The Ideal Curricular Assessment Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314 Contact: Office of Faculty Development Description: The Ideal Curricular Assessment—An Easily Administered, Computerized Simulation to Assess Students’ Abilities to Use What They’ve Learned to Solve Real-World Problems Abstract: The Undergraduate Affairs Committee (UAC) of the Psychology Department feels strongly that if we are to use assessment of student learning outcomes as a basis for continuous improvement, the assessment should be of something that matters to us. We believe that the most important gift we can give undergraduates is a skill set that permits them to reason empirically, critically, and independently. Toward that end we developed a set of web-based simulations in which the students are asked to advise a group of their relatives who are researching a specific claim. We based our simulations on a similar set developed and validated with computer engineering students. We developed four different simulations and have given the first two assessments to sophomore and senior Psychology majors. Our first goal is to see if the seniors have developed these skills relative to the sophomores. Our second goal is to identify students’ strengths and weaknesses so we can revise our curriculum to address the weaknesses. This presentation will describe the development process, demonstrate the simulation, describe our preliminary results, and discuss our future plans, including closing the loop on both the students’ performance and on our assessment.

« 3/2 - 4/1 »	Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA Contact: University Art Gallery Description: UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts presents Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design Featuring recent student work from Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography Exhibition Dates: 3/2- 4/1 Reception: Tuesday, March 3rd, 4 pm to 6 pm Artist Talk at 5 pm during the reception, titled Re.Membered: The Art of Collaboration The UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts is pleased to present the third annual Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design on display from March 2 through April 1, 2015. The opening reception will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 4 to 6 pm, with the Artist Talk, presented by students of both Design and Art History at 5 pm. This exhibition features recent work from students in Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography, along with a slide show of these same young artists engaged in activities and processes relative to their CVPA experience. The Department of Visual Design is a cluster of professionally-oriented options: Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography. Visual design is an art form, a craft, and a means of information dissemination for education, business, commerce, editorial and entertainment industries. Students earning their BFA in one of these four areas explore visual communication in the widest sense, employing both traditional (analog) and contemporary electronic and computer technologies. The examples in this exhibition demonstrate that our broadly educated student visual artists/designers are both literate and articulate and capable of participating on many levels of a wide variety of projects. Bringing together both print and digital media, this exhibition provides insight into how Junior students use visual design as a method of communication.
