math, physics and computer science, but also the life sciences and humanities, connections encouraged by the interdisciplinary arm of the contest. The Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications also hosts the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)—the “pure math” side of the competition. This year the simultaneous contests drew 20,000 teams and played out at thousands of locations across twenty-one countries. At PLU, the ultramarathon-style drama unfolds in the Morken Center for Learning and

New engineering minor offers students invaluable internship opportunity Posted by: vcraker / March 23, 2022 March 23, 2022 Pacific Lutheran University leaders recently announced two new natural sciences programs. Officially launching in fall 2022, students will be able to pursue a major in applied mathematics and/or a minor in engineering and industry. The engineering and industry minor will take advantage of courses already offered by the university’s physics department to students in the Dual

interdisciplinary studies and adds a permanent mathematical modeling course that challenges students to use mathematic tools to solve real-world problems. “It is really awesome to pair with other science majors to give more math background to support those concepts,” said N. Justice, assistant professor of mathematics. “Such double majors will be set apart and stronger in the job market.” Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the applied mathematics major pairs well with other natural sciences majors such as
