Fred Hickernell, applied mathematics chair and professor, spoke at Brown University’s Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) in September. He gave the talk “Adaptive Algorithms for Stochastic Computation” at the ICERM Workshop on Information-Based Complexity and Stochastic Computations.

At Northwestern University in October, he gave an Industrial Engineering and Management Science (IEMA) departmental seminar on “Reliable Error Estimation for Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Simulation.”.
