, colleagues say, was a successful grant that brought in money to build a computer laboratory for use in teaching calculus. Bryan’s interest in ancient mathematics led him to new algorithms for computing sines, cosines, and roots (square roots, cube roots, fourth roots, etc.). He incorporated these investigations into his courses and published his work in journals of the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics and the American Math Society. Bryan worked with his wife Celine Dorner – also an emeritus

From PLU History to Grad School in the Big Apple! Posted by: shimkojm / August 20, 2018 Image: Carli studying at her desk before her final exam (loving it!)

Pacific Lutheran University history majors have an excellent track record when it comes to earning an M.A. or a Ph.D. (or both) in history.I recently touched base with Carli Snyder, ’17, about her first

Consciousness conference on March 30.The People’s Gathering conference is a day-long Zoom-based professional and personal development experience offering a supportive space to engage in frank and open dialogue about race and racial disparities systemically present in work, school, and everyday life. “The consciousness of this country is shifting,” said Melannie Denise Cunningham, PLU’s director of multicultural outreach and engagement and the founder of the People’s Gathering in a ResoLute magazine feature

Mason, Rosalyn Sussman Yalow Professor in Physics at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Professor Mason’s research at Illinois focuses on how electrons behave in low-dimensional, correlated materials, where enhanced interactions are expected to give novel results. This research is relevant to a variety of technologies, including quantum communication, information storage, and qubit control in quantum computers. CUWiP will bring together successful female physicists and over 2,000

, and control light underpin the modern information-technology era. Society is increasingly reliant on such devices for efficient lighting, information display, and optical data transmission. Furthermore, the study of optoelectronics is enabling new technologies ranging from ubiquitous sensors and photorealistic virtual reality displays to quantum-based information technologies that promise to produce exponential increases in computing power and secure communication networks from hacking.

Lane About the Composer Peter Van Zandt Lane’s music has been praised by critics for its’ “depth, character, and pleasing complexity” (Boston Musical Intelligencer), and has been recognized for its “appeal to musicians and audiences, no matter their personal musical aesthetic” (Asymmetry Music Magazine). He composes for chamber ensembles, band, orchestra, and often integrates electronics into his concert music. Tapping into a visceral sense of rhythm and momentum, Peter’s works traverse the space

October 27, 2008 Donors share value of Holocaust Education Last week, stories of survival and the lessons of history were on the forefront of many people’s minds. On Oct. 21, more than 150 people gathered for the Second Annual Powell and Heller Family Conference in support of Holocaust Education at Pacific Lutheran University.“It is always difficult to know where to begin,” Kurt Mayer told the assembled crowd in the Scandinavian Center. He was talking about the story of his life as a survivor

  endeavors taking shape at PLU, as well as personal reflections on two decades as president of the university. “My task this morning is to report to you on the state of the university, and, in this my 20th such address to you, I will argue that the ship of state is strong, indeed, remarkably strong given the currents and stresses that are buffeting all of higher education,” Anderson said, as he addressed the crowd. “The last 12 months, I will contend, have been a time of significant progress, marked by
