Research
The Math Department has had many students engaged in research on campus and at other universities during the summer.
- Matt Lundy ('09) presented his work “A New Slant on an Old ODE Problem: What a Student Can Learn from Draining Inclining Tanks” at the Pacific Undergraduate Research Conference.
- Damien Mondragon ('08) presented his work “Connected Components in Random Graphs,” at the Northern California Undergraduate Math Conference.
- Michael Babcock ('07) collaborated with Professors Langley and Merz on the problem of determining the distinguishing number of a digraph.
- Huimei Lin ('07) presented research she did at the Summer Math Institute at Cornell at the National joint meeting of the American Mathematical Society and Mathematics Association of America.
