staff to draw on the interdisciplinarity emphasized throughout their PLU education. Tutors sometimes work in their areas of expertise, but they also regularly step outside their comfort zone to help with subjects that might not be quite so familiar to them. On any given day, PLC staff may be balancing out formulas or helping students write essays. For example, Nick, an English Writing and Hispanic Studies major who aspires to be a poet, helps students understand algebraic equations, too. The beauty

and features fractal snowflakes. Sklar currently works with artists and mathematicians creating Tess’s ceramic shell, knitted arms and legs, and a fabric-and-brass-rod kite accompanying the tortoise. Mathemalchemy is Sklar’s newest exploration of the connections between art and math. In 2007, Sklar exhibited photographs depicting visual metaphors of abstract algebraic concepts, and in 2017, The Journal of Humanistic Mathematics published her “love poem for mathematics.” In addition to her work

, credit cards, insurance products, the list goes on and on. The effects of compound interest can be slow but it has a cumulative way of growing significantly and it can be intriguing how that works. What is happening can be simple, but when we dig deeper into the theory of compound interest and its applications, it can delve into the realm of calculus, where we use integration, geometric series and heavy algebraic manipulation. Compound interest plays a role in the time value of money, and calculating
