  • Tevian Dray article featured in AMM December issue

    The December 2020 Issue of the American Mathematical Monthly (published by the Mathematical Association of America, and now available online at maa.org) features an article by Tevian Dray: "Using Embedding Diagrams to Visualize Curvature". Abstract: We give an elementary treatment of the curvature of surfaces of revolution in the language of vector calculus, using differentials rather than an explicit parameterization. We illustrate some basic features of curvature using embedding diagrams, and then use such a diagram to analyze the geometry of the Schwarzschild black hole.

  • Sophie Germain's Grand Plan to Prove Fermat's Last Theorem by David Pengelley

    Professor David Pengelley presented " Sophie Germain's Grand Plan to Prove Fermat's Last Theorem " on May 11, 2020, via Zoom. Sponsored by the Oregon State University student chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), and introduced by Branwen Purdy, President of the AWM student chapter. The audience was primarily OSU Mathematics faculty and graduate students, and external guests Dora Musielak and Dominic Klyve. Abstract: The Oregon State University chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics invites you to join in celebrating International Women in Mathematics Day with a special colloquium on a famous woman mathematician. Sophie Germain (1776-1831) is the first woman known to have created important new mathematical research. She is best known in number theory for the first general result aimed at proving Fermat's Last Theorem, finally proven only 25 years ago. However, her unpublished manuscripts, and a letter to Gauss, reveal that for...

  • Mathematics major Saki Nakai receives a 2020 Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) award

    Mathematics major Saki Nakai has received a Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) award to support her summer research on mathematical modeling of psychological disorders, with a particular focus on bipolar disorder. Saki is an Honors scholar double majoring in Mathematics (with an option in mathematical biology) and Psychology and minoring in French and Music Performance. This SURE project will be an interdisciplinary project that will bridge mathematics and psychology. Saki will work with Professor Vrushali Bokil on her research. The SURE program provides students with a stipend for 11 weeks of full time research, and an additional $500 for research expenses to support their project..
