Emmy Noether: Symmetry and Conservation Laws Alexander Heaton University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student “Whenever the laws of motion of some physical system have a symmetry, there is some corresponding conserved quantity. For example, an asteroid tumbling through outer space... Read More
Students’ Understandings of Introductory Calculus Concepts Ms. Caroline Merighi Tufts University PhD Candidate “Introductory calculus is a struggle for many students. Even those who are successful in calculus courses often hold weak understandings of concepts that underlie the procedures they... Read More
End Sums of Manifolds Jack Calcut Oberlin College Associate Professor of Mathematics “End summing is the analogue for open manifolds of the boundary sum operation. Though it has been used in several applications since the 1980s, it is less well... Read More
