Associated Hypothesis in Linear Models with Unbalanced Data Rica Wedowski MS Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee "In a two-way linear model one can test six different hypotheses regarding the effects in this model. Those hypotheses can be ranked from less specific... Read More
An Examination of the Dynamics of a Rear-Inflow Jet Associated with an Idealized Mesoscale Convective System Caitlin Crossett University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee MS Student "This study evaluates the main controls on the descent of the rear-inflow jet (RIJ), associated with a... Read More
RNA FOLDING PREDICTION REVISITED: 30 Years and Counting Christine Heitsch Georgia Institute of Technology Professor of Mathematics "A 1986 AMS article on "RNA folding prediction" outlined several major questions in this area of molecular biology, and advocated "the continued need for... Read More
On Some One-Complex Dimensional Slices of the Boundedness Locus of a Multi-Parameter Rational Family Matthew Hoeppner University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Student "Complex dynamics involves the study of the behavior of complex-valued functions when they are composed with themselves repeatedly. We... Read More
Random Variables and How to Generate Them Martin Vieten PhD Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee "The concept of a random variable is one of the most fundamental notions in probability theory. Compared to classic deterministic functions, random variables introduce an additional... Read More
Symmetry and the Alhambra Mosaics Featuring: Fredric Ancel University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Professor of Mathematics "Every pattern has some symmetry which mathematicians study using the idea of a symmetry group – a group of all the ways a pattern or object... Read More
Around a Big Mapping Class Group Juliette Bavard University of Chicago PostDoc "The mapping class group of the plane minus a Cantor set arises naturally in many dynamical contexts. To study this "big mapping class group", we can consider its... Read More
Assessing Student Comprehension of Learning to Solve Systems of Linear Equations with Practical Applications Through In-Class Group Project Aubree Freeman MS Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee In this presentation, we will demonstrate the effectiveness of project-based learning by looking at the outcomes...
