Title : "Veni, Vidi, Pebblici"
Abstract : Graph pebbling is an apparently irresistable game to many, as
its rapid growth in recent years might attest to. With its roots in
number theory, research in the area has touched on such diverse fields as
extremal set theory, optimal networking, random graphs, computational
complexity, and group theory. Without a doubt, no branch of mathematics
has seen such tremendous contribution from undergraduates. In the short
time we have together I will try to share a few highlights and recent
developments.

Title : The Trapezoid Rule with modifications, applied to bubble motion
in Stokes flow.
Abstract : To begin, we will review basic properties of the trapezoid rule,
how to improve it and how to apply it to singular integrals.
I then present a boundary integral method to compute bubble
evolution in Stokes flow. Standard procedure is to evaluate the
resulting integrals using the modified trapezoid rule.
I will discuss the difficulties that prevent obtaining high order
results and how to resolve them.
