Tracker software and compared to the numerical solution of the associated differential equation. The velocities of the bobs at the bottom of the arc were compared to those predicted by the mathematical model. 2:45pm Hannah Tate – “Cosmological Possibilities: Extra Dimensions and Apparent Horizons” Einstein’s theories of relativity have allowed scientists to probe the nature of the Universe, revealing its intricacies. We explore fundamental properties of spacetime, the possibility of extra spatial

arrange them daily so that no two shall walk twice abreast.” Utilizing Block Design, Steiner Triple Systems, and Kirkman Triple Systems, we examine how to construct a solution. Using that information, then we explore how to generalize the problem, and apply the concepts with a Java program. Saturday, May 5th, Room 2149:00am – Counting Q Matthew Dixon We will begin by building Stern’s Diatomic Array, and then take a mathematical voyage through Stern’s Crushed Array and into Stern’s Diatomic Sequence

(Photo: John Froschauer/PLU) Bret Underwood is an Assistant Professor in Physics, currently teaching a two-course Mathematical Physics sequence. The courses can be a bit technical, and he’s been spending a lot of time lately thinking about how to integrate active learning into a technical upper-level physics course. At

, Pacific Lutheran University seniors Hailey Olafson and James Van Alstine presented their mathematics research at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Antonio, Texas. JMM, put on by the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society, is the largest mathematics meeting in the world. The research Olafson and Van Alstine presented, on changing the base of numbers, was conducted over the summer with PLU Assistant Professor of Mathematics Tom Edgar. Edgar says that numbers we
