Audience
Join us for another Natural Science and Mathematics Colloquium talk of the fall semester!
Wednesday, Nov 5th, 2025
Schaefer Hall 106 @ 4:45 p.m.
Katherine Socha is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University’s Arlington campus, where she teaches post-baccalaureate level classes in discrete structures, data science, and machine learning. After earning tenure at SMCM as a member of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department, she really tried to be a recovering professor – spending a year at the National Science Foundation, working with high school math teachers at Math for America in NYC, and teaching in the upper school of the Park School of Baltimore; but the opportunity to work with advanced students in the mathematical foundations of the computer sciences (and the chance to work with the Jamiesons) drew her back to the university world.
Seminar Title: Mathematician in the Machine: how mathematics from high school and beyond makes machine learning possible
This event is free and open to the public. It is meant for a general audience. If you are an instructor, please announce it to your students.
