Friday, May 3rd Join the Mathematics Department in Morken 214 and Morken 216 to hear the senior capstone presentations. If you're unable to join us in-person, we welcome you to attend via Zoom.
how projective planes are generated from affine planes, and demonstrate how the axioms of projective planes guarantee the necessary properties for gameplay. 2:30pm – Break 3:00pm – Folding a Heptagon Jacob Roberts A long-standing problem in mathematics has been the construction of a heptagon. Proven to be impossible to construct with a straightedge and compass in geometry, mathematicians looked for other methods of construction. One of the methods found was origami. We will explore origami, how

obtain seemingly random numbers is displayed. 3:30pm – Building and Exploring the Mandelbrot Set: A look into Complex Dynamics Paul Jean Fischer The Mandelbrot Set is notable for being arguably the most spectacular depiction of fractal geometry in recent history, but what is it and what makes its intricate structure so entrancing? In this paper we unpack the visually complex nature of the Mandelbrot Set by looking at its iterative process and describe its relationship to dynamical systems. After

By the time she earned the university’s highest degree, she left with more than a shiny new title. The nurse practitioner for Providence Medical Group at Hawks Prairie Internal Medicine in Lacey,
math and geometry as well as coaching the girls’ soccer team. One of her passions includes math, “I have personally been good at math and it has always come easy to me.It is a subject that many people struggle with and do not like. I have always enjoyed teaching it to others and I want to be the one to teach them to understand and appreciate it.” Lyman studied for her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Education at PLU while competing on the soccer team. She continued her graduate study and soccer

Erin Madden, Senior Capstone Seminar There is a discrepancy in the literature whether porous carbon electrodes store more electrochemical capacitance with a disordered or an ordered pore design.
Capstone Seminar There is a discrepancy in the literature whether porous carbon electrodes store more electrochemical capacitance with a disordered or an ordered pore design. However, these materials have not been made comparably, so their capacitances cannot be fairly compared. We hypothesize that if we control the physical and electrochemical properties of disordered and ordered porous carbon electrodes, then the electrodes should have comparable amounts of capacitance regardless of pure geometry. To

The traditional undergraduate program is designed for students who do not hold licensure in practical or registered nursing. The L.P.N. to B.S.N.
expected to have completed a program in high school that includes: four years of English; two years of mathematics (preferably algebra and geometry); two years of social sciences; two years of one foreign language; and two years of laboratory sciences (including chemistry). Liberal Arts Foundation An understanding and appreciation of the liberal arts and of the art and science of nursing is necessary for success in the B.S.N. program. Admitted B.S.N. students are expected to have completed at least 12

PLU President Thomas W. Krise welcomes faculty and staff back to campus, highlighting the strengths of PLU and his goals for the future. (Photo by John Froschauer) “A University of the First Rank” By President Thomas W. Krise Good morning and welcome to the 2012…
important to help them understand that the idea of the liberal arts is rooted in ancient Greek and Roman culture and the term describes those skills and subjects that were deemed necessary for the education of free people—libera being the Latin root for liberty. In the medieval period, those arts were identified with seven subjects—grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. I like to refer to these by name to emphasize that the liberal arts have always included the sciences

if only electronically. We hope that this page will allow alumni to reconnect and current students to meet some of their predecessors. Please email us with pictures and stories to share.
AmeriCorps member has been a fabulous way to figure out if I enjoyed working in a school setting, and to develop my tutoring and teaching skills. I fell in love with algebra and geometry and am working towards going back to school to get my master’s degree teaching secondary mathematics. I work in a culturally diverse community and use my degree in anthropology on a daily basis. When I have the opportunity, I try to connect anthropology and archaeology to the subjects my students are learning. You would
