GraduatesAn undergraduate program in physics provides excellent preparation for graduate study in many areas of the physical sciences and engineering, such as mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aeronautical engineering, aerospace engineering, optical engineering and electrical engineering. Many applied physics graduates pursue professional careers in the industry immediately after graduation from PLU, but the program also provides excellent preparation for graduate study in nearly all

students; To encourage advanced students to be creators of mathematics by introducing rigorous mathematical reasoning and by expecting them to take the intellectual risk inherent in raising questions and formulating conjectures; To use and maintain a variety of appropriate technological tools throughout our curriculum; To work with students independently or collaboratively to help them make sense of and understand mathematics; To promote effective teaching through attendance at workshops and

engineering school. Hence, the program is often referred to as “3-2 Engineering.” The PLU DegreeThe Dual-Degree student is awarded a PLU degree when the PLU requirements are satisfied and the program of study at the engineering school is completed. The PLU degree most often awarded to Dual-Degree students is the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Physics. The physics degree can be selected for all engineering subdisciplines, but students wishing to study chemical engineering or biomedical engineering often choose

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
