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: Zhongqiang Zhang (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) Title: "Optimal error estimate of spectral Galerkin and collocation methods for fractional differential equations" Time: Tuesday, March 10, 2015, 3:30pm-4:30pm Location: Textiles 105 Abstract: We present optimal error estimates for spectral Galerkin methods and spectral collocation methods for linear fractional differential equations with initial value or boundary values on a finite interval. The key feature of the error estimates is that the estimate can accommodate the end-point singularity of the solutions to these equations. We also develop Laguerre spectral Petrov-Galerkin methods and collocation methods for fractional equations on the half line. Numerical results confirm the error estimates.

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM	Lunch and Learn: OER with Shannon L. Jenkins Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314 Contact: CITS Instructional Development Description: Did you know nearly 60% of all students do not purchase a textbook at some point in time? The National Association of College Stores (NACS) says the average college student will spend $655 on textbooks each year, but with a single textbook easily costing as much as $300, that total can easily be much higher. In fact, the College Board puts the annual cost of books and materials at $1,168 as noted by Tyler Kingkade of the Huffington Post. Open Educational Resources (OER) are an opportunity for decreasing these costs for our students. Join us for a lunchtime discussion with guest speaker Shannon L. Jenkins, Associate Professor of Political Science and Department Chairperson. The teaching and learning benefits of incorporating these OER instructional materials will be explored. Information on how to get started using OER and creating your own OER will also be presented. Lunch will be provided, Library room 314.
