The Search is an innovative small group series that tackles the key questions of every human heart. In seven beautifully filmed episodes, Chris Stefanick and experts from multiple fields of science, medicine, psychology, art, and religion examine our place in the larger story of existence. Whether you're a practiced inquirer or a jaded skeptic, The Search will speak to you. You may be reassured by some parts, and challenged by others. Either way, you'll find a lot here to think about. And when all is said and done, life's questions demand to be answered. Free Dinner in the PDR (private dining room on the top floor of the Grove) (please register so we can prepare)at 5:30pm Program at 6:00 pm Are you ready for The Search?

As a nation, we are polarized and divided. Now we must come together and seek a way forward. Can we see ourselves as members of one family? Can we seek to encounter and to grow? Can we identify common values? Can we listen to understand? Can we seek the truth together? Can we jointly come up with creative solutions to the problems that face our nation. We Can! Stop by the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life and participate in the I PLEDGE CIVILITY CAMPAIGN. Let it begin with you! Sign the pledge. Prayers for civility and prayers to overcome division are available for various denominations and traditions of faith at the Center. Chaplains are also available.

"A second-order correction method for loosely coupled discretizations applied to parabolic interface problems" - Abstract: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involve the study of how fluids and solid structures behave when they come into contact with each other. These problems are important in many engineering and scientific applications, such as aeronautics, aeroelasticity, aerodynamics, biomechanics, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering. We consider a parabolic interface problem, a simplified version of FSI, and construct a loosely coupled prediction-correction scheme based on the Robin splitting method analyzed in [J. Numer. Math., 31(1):59, 77, 2023]. We show that the errors of the correction step converge at O((Delta t)^2), under suitable convergence rate assumptions on the discrete time derivative of the prediction step, where Delta t stands for the time-step length. Numerical results are shown to support our analysis and the assumptions. Contact: zchen2@umassd.edu, vvarma@umassd.edu.

The Office of Undergraduate Research will host its first Undergraduate Research Day on Wednesday, November 6 from 12-2pm, at the Claire T. Carney Library, where OUR research grant awardees from 2023-2024 will present posters on their research. Posters will be scored by judges based on content, design, and student presentation, and there will be cash prizes for top-scoring posters! There will be free food at the event.
