the real world and find a company to work with, which has given me all the freedom to work on what I want and what I’m interested in. I feel like a real adult. This has allowed me to either succeed or fail all on my own. Why did you choose the MSMR program? The program was actually presented to me while I was pursuing job opportunities with my mathematics degree. Last year, I went to the capstone presentations of the 2018 MSMR cohort and I was deeply impressed by the students and their projects

most creative times.” Duffy, Madeline and Matthew competed in 2022 as well, solving a problem on asteroid mining, an experience which set them up to assist associate professor of mathematics Mei Zhu in running the workshop that prepares students for the annual competition in February. Zhu has taught the J-term class on overload for almost twenty years. Before PLU had a BS in Applied Mathematics, it was one of the few opportunities for students interested in applying math skills to real-world

You Ask, We Answer: Do you have Engineering? Posted by: shortea / February 24, 2023 February 24, 2023 At PLU, students can pursue engineering in two formal ways. Option 1 We offer a dual-degree engineering program through partnerships with both Columbia University (NYC) and Washington University (St. Louis). In this program, a student completes their introductory coursework in mathematics, science, and engineering as well as their general education requirements at PLU (in 3 years) before

, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines as well as DHS mission-relevant research areas. As a participant in the HS-POWER Program, you will participate in quality research experiences with federal research facilities and other Homeland Security STEM focused entities nationwide either onsite or in a virtual environment. This experience will provide you with a competitive edge as you apply your education, talent and skills in a variety of settings within the DHS enterprise. Additionally

computational mechanics of Earth materials, rheology of Earth materials, granular mechanics, physics-based modeling and quantitative studies of Earth’s near-surface processes. Applications are welcomed from students with bachelor’s or master’s degree in Earth Science, Environmental Science, Geology, Geophysics, Physics, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related fields. A strong background or a strong interest in granular physics, solid

March 2, 2009 Using math to build community For the students, from PLU and middle schools around the area, the Mathletes Tutor Program is more than just numbers and equations.“What we are about is community building,” said Bryan Dorner, PLU math professor. Last week, hundreds of area middle schoolers, their parents and about 20 PLU students who take part in the tutoring program gathered at PLU to celebrate the program and mathematics. For the past five years, PLU math students have volunteered

After taking an economics class to fulfill a social science requirement, however, I realized my interest in this field. That spring, I changed my major to economics, and kept mathematics as a minor. I have my liberal art’s education at PLU to thank for the discovery of my passion for economics. The rich variety of classes that PLU offers truly allows its students

PMA January webinar and panel: Careers for Mathematicians Posted by: nicolacs / January 19, 2024 January 19, 2024 You’re invited to join the PMA webinar and panel: Career for Mathematicians on Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 4PM PST. Are you interested in the careers possible for mathematics students? The PMA welcomes as panelists several mathematicians who will discuss careers and opportunities in the financial sector, as actuaries, in mathematical biology, in machine learning, and in research
