A paper co-authored by Associate Professor of Mathematics Sally Cockburn and former Visiting Professor of Mathematics Joshua Lesperance is the cover article in the April 2013 issue of Mathematics Magazine, published by the Mathematical Association of America.

For the third year in a row, the Hamilton Mathletics team won first place in the annual Snow Bowl competition, edging out teams from Colgate University, Skidmore College and St. Lawrence University.  To determine the winner, each team in the competition added their top five scores on the William Lowell Putnam Exam.

Professor of Mathematics Debra Boutin published a research article titled “The Cost of 2-Distinguishing Cartesian Powers” in the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics.

Catherine Crone ’13 has been awarded a Royster Fellowship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for graduate study in musicology beginning next fall. This prestigious fellowship is open to UNC graduate students in all departments and provides five years of financial support including tuition, fees and a $22,000 stipend each academic year. In 2012-2013 29 fellowships were awarded.

“Modeling preferential admissions at elite liberal arts colleges,” a paper by Associate Professors of Mathematics Sally Cockburn and Tim Kelly and Assistant Dean of Faculty for Institutional Research Gordon Hewitt, was published in the current issue of Research in Higher Education Journal.

Twelve students from Hamilton’s Mathletics team competed nationally on Dec. 1 in the William Lowell Putnam mathematics competition.  The students  on this year’s team are Jeremy Adelman ’13, Julian Aronowitz ’14, Sitong Chen ’16, Yifei Chen ’13, Robert Huben ’15, Jessie Shelton ’15,  Sunrose Shrestha ’14, Justin Smith ’14, Josh Snyder ’13, Yonghun Song ’13, Peter Talpey ’14 and Evan Van Tassell ’13. They’ve trained for the competition throughout the fall semester with Assistant Professor of Mathematics Andrew Dykstra.

An article co-authored by Robert Kantrowitz ’82, professor and chair of mathematics, appears in the September 2012 issue of College Mathematics Journal, a publication of the Mathematical Association of America.

Assistant Professor of Mathematics Chinthaka Kuruwita authored a paper published in the proceedings of the IEEE, 55th International Midwest Symposium on Circuits & Systems, Boise, August 2012.  He was among authors of a paper titled "Detection of Anomalies in Network Traffic Using L2E for Accurate Speaker Recognition."

After Kristin Stenerson walked across the stage as a member of Hamilton’s Bicentennial class, she walked into her new position as a strategy and operations consultant for Deloitte, one of the world’s largest professional service employers. For Stenerson, a mathematics and economics major, the job at Deloitte is the culmination of years of hard work both inside and outside the classroom.

Professor of Mathematics Debra Boutin organized a mini-symposium at the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Conference on Discrete Mathematics in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her mini-symposium brought together 10 mathematicians to speak about their work on graph networks and their symmetries.
