. 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

produces trustworthy data, and helps researchers draw practical conclusions to evaluate trends or projections. Data can be derived from sources such as surveys, polls and experiments. Statisticians apply their knowledge to a wide array of disciplines, such as agriculture, biology, computer science, economics, education, engineering, human resources, marketing, medicine, public health, psychology, sociology, and sports. Careers in StatisticsStatistics requires a rigorous mathematical preparation

February 22, 2011 PLU students spend 96 hours figuring out halfpipes and VHF signals By Chris Albert Pro snowboarder Shaun White is entering a halfpipe going for maximum vertical air. For hours Dan Case ’11 and his team study the YouTube video of White during a 96 hour Mathematical Contest in Modeling. “We’d pause it over and over again to see how to make a model out of it,” Case said. Four teams, totaling 11 PLU students, spent 96 hours competing in the Math Modeling Contest. (Photo by John
