Studying Off Campus
Juniors and seniors majoring in math may become involved in faculty research projects, working on:
- Swarming studies with Dr. Tim Sorenson
- Group theory studies with Dr. Martha Gregg
- Infinite series on valuated rings with Dr. Emil Knapp
- Projects and activities for elementary and secondary classrooms with Prof. J. R. Smith
Dr. Knapp has also included students in research looking for the optimal stopping point in the game show The Price is Right.
Each year, the department employs about eight student assistants who run evening tutorial sessions for students in lower-division classes. Teaching becomes an excellent way to solidify knowledge in a subject.
