Dumbaugh Delivers MAA Distinguished Lecture
Della Dumbaugh, professor of mathematics, was invited to deliver a Mathematical Association of America Distinguished Lecture. The MAA lecture features the foremost experts within the field of mathematics, known for their ability to make current mathematical ideas accessible to non-specialists.
Dumbaugh's lecture titled "Every Paper Tells a Story: Mathematics at the Monthly" showcased the riches of the American Mathematical Monthly and what they teach us about the profession. This talk also included tips for publishing in the journal today.
Wares Receives Funding for Opioid Crisis Research
Joanna Wares, a mathematics professor and chair of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, is receiving grant support for research on mathematically modeling interventions for the opioid crisis.
This project, supported by the Center for Undergraduate Research in Mathematics, combines mathematics with public health policy issues. Wares is collaborating with professor Zeynep Teymuroglu at Rollins College in Florida. The research is an extension of their previous work with Penn Injury Science Center on predicting the impact of placing an overdose prevention site in Philadelphia.
Wares and Teymuroglu will engage underrepresented students in a working group focused on building mathematical models related to the opioid crisis.
