Bill Bogley to be the new Head of the Department of Mathematics
We start the 15th year of AMC Seminar this month, while we reflect on the seminar's breadth and popularity. Since 9/2006 when we started keeping track, the average attendance was 21. 77 (median 21), comprised of 8.54 students, 7.40 Math faculty, and 5.83 other attendees. Our peak attendance was 37 when we ran out of space and had to bring chairs from other classrooms! In 2017 we started featuring online talks, and may record some for future purposes. The seminar welcomes presentations ranging from technical talks, expository and research presentations by students, and various tutorials.
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.
Congratulations to Allison Arnold-Roksandich who received Graduate School Travel award towards her travel to JMM (Joint Mathematics Meeting) in Baltimore in January 2019.
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...
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...
Mathematics faculty and graduate students host a booth at the da Vinci Days festival, held at the Benton County Fairgrounds, where visitors could participate in a daylong crowd-sourced effort to approximate the value of Π via discrete trials of the Buffon Needle problem.
