  • Rock hound gets to follow his dreams https://www.plu.edu/news/archive/2011/01/12/rock-hound-gets-to-follow-his-dreams/

    January 12, 2011 Mike Vermuelen always liked rocks. Now he gets to study them up close in Antarctica. By Barbara Clements In a lab littered with Hostess snack bars and French fry wrappers, geosciences student Mike Vermeulen ’12, turns to his computer and pops up a map of Antarctica. He then points to a grid in the upper part of the frozen continent. Mike Vermeulen has always been fascinated by rocks and dinosaurs. This last winter, he travelled south to Antarctica to study deglaciation of rocks

    arithmetic that is consistent and has a decidable set of axioms must be incomplete — meaning it contains a statement that is unprovable. Gödel’s proof itself is as beautiful as the First Theorem: it involves a brilliant use of mapping and the creation of a formal self-referential statement. What can be learned from the proof’s methods can be just as informative as the First Incompleteness Theorem itself. 1:30-1:55pm – Computer Science, Mathematics, and the Classroom: How Do They Benefit From One Another

  • NMR opens doors for undergrad research https://www.plu.edu/news/archive/2009/03/09/nmr-opens-doors-for-undergrad-research/

    March 9, 2009 NMR is no longer under wraps It looks like a rather fat, squat water heater. A water heater with a $743,000 price tag. But to the professors of PLU’s chemistry department, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is a dream come true. It’s easy to see they still can’t quite believe, after 2 years of waiting and receiving a National Science Foundation grant they didn’t expect to get, that it’s finally here. After being hidden behind tarps and plywood, it’s now in full display on

The renovation of Xavier Hall did the same thing for social science programs: improved teaching space, collaborative space and improved infrastructure and technology. The building was

    September 21, 2007 New device will probe the world of the atom Four professors over at Rieke are still pinching themselves. After applying for a National Science Foundation grant in January, on a hope and a prayer really, the chemistry faculty found out last year that they had been awarded a grant totaling $743,000 to purchase a powerful nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. “We were floored when we learned we had received it,” Fryhle said. “We didn’t expect to get it the very first time (we
