. Moving Math Forward Dr. Ksenija Simic-Muller and collaborators received an NSF grant to work on improving math and statistics education. Why Study Mathematics at PLU? The PLU Department of Mathematics offers a broad choice of educational and career goals. Mathematics at PLUMany people think of mathematics as being an old subject whose rules were established by the Greeks, the Hindus, and by the mathematical heroes of the European Enlightenment – Newton, Leibniz and Gauss, who gave us modern calculus

, and surrounded by blackboards that viewers can write upon. The overall work is a collection of multimedia vignettes illustrating mathematical concepts. Visitors to the piece will see a “knotical” (nautical) scene—featuring a bay, a boat, and a sea monster—exploring concepts in knot theory. A large handmade quilt composed of blocks depicts various forms of cryptography, while a soaring lighthouse is topped with a stained-glass dodecahedron. A dizzying variety of artistic mediums comprise the work
