An article co-authored by Professor of Mathematics Robert Kantrowitz ’82 was published in Contemporary Mathematics, a publication of the American Mathematical Society (AMS).

Assistant Professor of Mathematics Chinthaka Kuruwita co-authored an article titled “Generalized varying coefficient models with unknown link function” in the September issue of the journal Biometrika.

Ten students from Hamilton's Mathletics team competed nationally on Dec. 3, in the William Lowell Putnam mathematics competition.  The participants were Jeremy Adelman ’13, Abrar Ahmed ’13, Yinghan Ding ’12, Adam Fix ’13, Robert Huben ’15, Maribeth Johnson ’13, Sunrose Shrestha ’14, Josh Snyder ’13, Yonghun Song ’13 and Shichen Xu ’12. They had trained for the competition throughout the fall semester with Assistant Professor of Mathematics Andrew Dykstra.

Professor of Mathematics Debra Boutin was recently elected as an officer of the Discrete Math Activity Group of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics Joshua Wiscons has received an award from the National Science Foundation’s International Research Fellowship Program funding his proposal titled “Multiply transitive and generically multiply transitive groups of finite Morley rank.”

Robert Kantrowitz ’82, professor and chair of mathematics, presented a talk titled  “Golf, tee ball, and triangles” at the fall 2011 meeting of the Seaway section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) on Oct. 15 at St. Bonaventure University.

The mathematical field of graph theory is a study of just that:  a study of mathematical figures consisting of points and lines connected to them. Yonghyun Song ’13 is serving as an intern for Associate Professor of Mathematics Sally Cockburn on a graph theory project. His work was supported by the Monica Odening Student Internship and Research Fund in Mathematics through the Career Center.

Associate Professor of Mathematics Sally Cockburn gave a talk at the recent Canadian Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics Conference in Victoria, B.C., on May 30.

Professor of Mathematics Debra Boutin organized a mini-symposium on Embeddings and Geometric Representations of Graphs at the Canadian Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics at the University of Victoria May 31 - June 3.  She also gave a talk titled "Automorphisms of Geometric Graphs - a retrospective and prospective."  In this talk Boutin presented both earlier work and new directions on the symmetries of networks drawn in two dimensions.

An article titled “Let's Do Launch: More Musings on Projectile Motion” by Robert Kantrowitz ’82, professor and chair of mathematics, appears in the Spring 2011 edition of the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal.
