computing and mathematical methods. Although their pursuits vary widely, the DOE CSGF helps these computational scientists develop a sense of community that’s often difficult to find in a single academic department. It starts with practicum assignments at DOE laboratories, where interdisciplinary teams conduct research in ways far different than in academic departments. DOE CSGF Science & Engineering Track fellows use math and computers to conduct doctoral research in many fields, including: Aeronautics

interested in the learning and teaching of secondary mathematics. Participants explore the Hungarian pedagogy, in which a strong and explicit emphasis is placed on problem solving, mathematical creativity, and communication. Why Summer@BSME? Today’s teachers are expected to provide students with opportunities to struggle productively towards understanding, and the Hungarian pedagogy has the potential to play a critical role in this endeavor. At Summer@BSME, we are excited for our participants to develop

a Hindu tradition, but they learn simple mathematical concepts, and spatial orientation and relationships through their daily creations. Children will unknowingly take those concepts they learned on their doorstep and use them, later, in the classroom. “At the time, I never thought much about it,” Thirumurthy said. “But there is probably a relationship between designing kolams and mathematical concepts.” When Thirumurthy returns to southeast India this fall, she will be looking for other

University Place and Puyallup, both suburbs of Tacoma. Along the way, she earned an MBA from PLU in 1993. She describes one of the most important lessons learned there, from Professor (now Professor Emeritus) Eli Berniker: “We were using a mathematical formula to calculate inventory, and had to write a paper on how to apply the formula. I ran the numbers, and came up with a number that didn’t make sense.” So she wrote an explanation of how she would do the calculation, using her own reasoning. As it

(Photo: John Froschauer/PLU) By Natalie DeFord ’16 Sarah Henderson is an art major who chose to attend PLU because she loved the atmosphere when she visited as a high school senior. “Everyone was just so nice and open, and it just felt like I was where I was meant to be,” she said. “I knew this is where I was going to find myself.” She said her college experience has been valuable for many reasons, but was

more attractive job and graduate school candidates.” To fulfill the engineering internship/industry requirement, PLU has enlisted the assistance of an advisory board consisting of engineering and science professionals to advise students with placement. The applied mathematics major builds upon the existing mathematics courses, incorporates interdisciplinary studies and adds a permanent mathematical modeling course that challenges students to use mathematic tools to solve real-world problems. “It is

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
