The security of multivariate cryptographic primitives relies on the hardness of computing the solutions of multivariate polynomial systems over finite fields. Since we can compute the solutions of a polynomial system from its Groebner basis, bounds on the complexity of Groebner bases computations provide bounds on the security of the corresponding multivariate cryptographic primitives. After introducing multivariate cryptography, the discussion will move to the introduction of Groebner bases, and how they can be computed.

J. Conway Spirited Seminar Series: From the Somos Sequence and Coxeter-Conway Friezes to Cluster Algebras
J. Conway Spirited Seminar Series: From the Somos Sequence and Coxeter-Conway Friezes to Cluster Algebras
Mon, Sep 13 2021 to Mon, Sep 13 2021
Induction is a powerful construction tool, both in elementary and in advanced mathematics. The talk will illustrate this basic observation. More precisely, we will see how the remarkable integrity and periodicity properties of the Somos sequence and the
Coxeter-Conway friezes find a beautiful unification and generalisation in the recent theory of cluster algebras introduced by Sergei Fomin and Andrei Zelevinsky. Apart from induction, we will only need addition, multiplication and division of integer coefficient polynomials in finitely many variables.

Anger Management: A Webinar by Counselling & Psychological Services at LUMS
Fri, Aug 20 2021 to Fri, Aug 20 2021
Anger is a natural emotion that everyone experiences from time to time. Unfortunately, most of us have never really been taught how to deal with these feelings, and thus tend to bottle them up. This often leads to unhealthy rage or outbursts of anger.
This webinar is designed to highlight the importance of the managing anger, and help you not only understand this strong emotion, but also learn the important steps that can help in controlling it constructively.
