Friday, May 7th Join the Mathematics Department on Zoom to hear the senior capstone presentations. If you’d like to join the online capstone session, please email Professor Jessica Sklar at
. This Capstone will explore violations to this rule. Using data collected on the association on drought and deer health conditions, a Monte Carlo Simulation will be conducted. Then a comparison between the theoretical and simulated results of a Chi-Squared test will be made when the sample size is smaller than typical conventions. 1:30pm – Applications of the Jacobian Matrix to Numerical Analysis of Dynamical Systems Ben Mathewson Dynamical systems measure state change(s) over time. Whether we are

The discipline of history focuses on critical analysis of text-based evidence from the past and seeks a detailed, complex understanding of individual and collective human behaviors as they have
(Critical Thinking). The study of history builds experience in dealing with and assessing various kinds of evidence-the sorts of evidence historians use in shaping the most accurate pictures of the past that they can. Learning how to combine different kinds of evidence-public statements, private records, numerical data, visual materials-develops the ability to make coherent arguments based on a variety of data. This skill can also be applied to information encountered in everyday life. The Ability to

Auberry Fortuner ’13 and Assistant Professor Bret Underwood did research into understanding what gave rise to the expansion of the universe. (Photo by John Froschauer) Modeling the Early Universe By Katie Scaff ’13 None of us was around for the Big Bang , but one…
variables in the equations Fortuner has been exploring. His findings show the amount of expansion and energy in the universe over time, and give insight into what parameters affect the physics of the very early universe. Entering numerical codes into a computer program and running simulations for hours day after day wasn’t glamorous, but it’s been an invaluable experience for Fortuner – a physics major who almost failed his first physics class. “When I took Intro to Physics class, the first college
