a Hindu tradition, but they learn simple mathematical concepts, and spatial orientation and relationships through their daily creations. Children will unknowingly take those concepts they learned on their doorstep and use them, later, in the classroom. “At the time, I never thought much about it,” Thirumurthy said. “But there is probably a relationship between designing kolams and mathematical concepts.” When Thirumurthy returns to southeast India this fall, she will be looking for other

University Place and Puyallup, both suburbs of Tacoma. Along the way, she earned an MBA from PLU in 1993. She describes one of the most important lessons learned there, from Professor (now Professor Emeritus) Eli Berniker: “We were using a mathematical formula to calculate inventory, and had to write a paper on how to apply the formula. I ran the numbers, and came up with a number that didn’t make sense.” So she wrote an explanation of how she would do the calculation, using her own reasoning. As it

more attractive job and graduate school candidates.” To fulfill the engineering internship/industry requirement, PLU has enlisted the assistance of an advisory board consisting of engineering and science professionals to advise students with placement. The applied mathematics major builds upon the existing mathematics courses, incorporates interdisciplinary studies and adds a permanent mathematical modeling course that challenges students to use mathematic tools to solve real-world problems. “It is

interdisciplinary studies and adds a permanent mathematical modeling course that challenges students to use mathematic tools to solve real-world problems. “It is really awesome to pair with other science majors to give more math background to support those concepts,” said N. Justice, assistant professor of mathematics. “Such double majors will be set apart and stronger in the job market.” Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the applied mathematics major pairs well with other natural sciences majors such as
