Bill Bogley to be the new Head of the Department of Mathematics
Please plan to join us for a Fall Welcome & Celebration meeting of the full Mathematics Department. This invitation is extended to all faculty, staff, graduate students, undergraduate majors, and friends of the department. The department office will be closed during this meeting, so please plan accordingly.
The Paradigms in Physics project has been awarded 2 new NSF grants, one entitled "Second-Generation Dissemination Strategies" ($298,948), the other "Representations in Quantum Mechanics" ($299,282). Co-PIs on both grants are Corinne Manogue (the project leader), Liz Gire, and David Roundy, all in Physics, and Tevian Dray in Math. The first grant will fund a major upgrade to the project's several websites, including an online textbook and other materlals for second-year calculus; the second studies the use of multiple representations in quantum mechanics, including linear algebra. The Paradigms project began with...
Welcome new graduate students!
The graduate cohort 2018-19 is the largest ever, with 23 students entering their first year of regular study at Oregon State, one exchange student from France, and another who is getting a concurrent degree in Engineering. We also have three students beginning their AMP-ramp year (AMP stands for Accelerated Masters Platform). Two of our cohort have received recruitment awards: Hannah Barta is a Provost Scholar, and Nachuan Zhang is a recipient of Wei Family award. Congratulations!
Please join Graduate Committee in greeting them and...
Congratulations to Allison Arnold-Roksandich who received Graduate School Travel award towards her travel to JMM (Joint Mathematics Meeting) in Baltimore in January 2019.
Mathematics faculty and graduate students participate in "Discovering the Scientist Within", a free half-day workshop designed to encourage young women to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. See College of Science iMPACT article.
Kudos are due to our extraordinary graduate students who continue to increase the visibility of our program outside OSU. This summer they attended more than 11 summer schools and workshops, and gave more than 7 presentations in the format of posters, contributed, and minisymposium oral presentations at various focused workshops, local events, and at national and international conferences, including a substantial presence at SIAM Annual held in Portland, OR in July 2018. At least four our grads also participated in prestigious internships at national labs and in industry. Please see...
