, and surrounded by blackboards that viewers can write upon. The overall work is a collection of multimedia vignettes illustrating mathematical concepts. Visitors to the piece will see a “knotical” (nautical) scene—featuring a bay, a boat, and a sea monster—exploring concepts in knot theory. A large handmade quilt composed of blocks depicts various forms of cryptography, while a soaring lighthouse is topped with a stained-glass dodecahedron. A dizzying variety of artistic mediums comprise the work

February 22, 2011 PLU students spend 96 hours figuring out halfpipes and VHF signals By Chris Albert Pro snowboarder Shaun White is entering a halfpipe going for maximum vertical air. For hours Dan Case ’11 and his team study the YouTube video of White during a 96 hour Mathematical Contest in Modeling. “We’d pause it over and over again to see how to make a model out of it,” Case said. Four teams, totaling 11 PLU students, spent 96 hours competing in the Math Modeling Contest. (Photo by John

Antonio, Texas.JMM, put on by the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society, is the largest mathematics meeting in the world. The research Olafson and Van Alstine presented, on changing the base of numbers, was conducted over the summer with PLU Assistant Professor of Mathematics Tom Edgar. Edgar says that numbers we know are “usually easy” to understand because the base is 10: We count in 1000s, 100s, 10s and 1s. For their research, though, the trio started to replace
