Several undergraduates presented results from their summer undergraduate research work, including:
Brittany Baker ’11 and “Winning Combinations: Connecting Study Abroad to a Summer Program through Combinatorics”
Emily Pratt ’12 and “Trajectory Design Using a Linearized Restricted Three-Body Problem”
Mary Spuches ’12 “Signature Recognition: Wavelet Decomposition versus Fourier Analysis”
Kaiti Tuthill ’11 “Methods for Finding Near Feasible Points for a System of Constraints”
October 2010
Professor Thomas Hull fromWesternNew England College presented our annual Pi Mu Epsilon Lecture “Origami – Math is in the Creasing.”
