数学实践日
Every winter term Westmont College hosts a "数学实践日" for high school students, 韦斯特蒙特大学的学生在活动中发挥了重要作用.
向柯蒂斯·巴恩哈特致敬, 唐三(在读学生), and Isaac Jessop (2023 grad) who learned that a paper they submitted with Professor Russell Howell was accepted for publication by the American Mathematical Monthly, 接受率低于10%的高选择性期刊. Their paper was based on reSearch that took place last summer with funds from Westmont to support their work. 题目是“抛硬币，得到一个环形函数”?" their article investigates the probability of whether randomly-generated functions of complex numbers (sometimes called imaginary numbers) have a specialized property.
Russell Howell发表了一篇论文, “重振复杂分析,” at the 21st biennial conference of the Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences (ACMS) in Charleston, 南卡罗来纳, 6月. At that meeting the ACMS board selected Russ to be the editor of their conference Proceedings, 现在已经变成了同行评议的期刊. Ray Rosentrater gave a talk at the same conference, “Bicycle Routes and Euler Double Paths.”
David Hunter’s reSearch students from summer 2016 presented their work at the Southern California-Nevada Section Meeting of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) at CSU Northridge in spring 2017. McKalie Drown做了一个演讲, “Smoothing Binned Data by Recursive Subdivision: Estimating Income Inequality.Emma Donelson和Bethany Le展示了一张海报, “Using Quaternions to Improve Statistical Analysis in SO(3): A New Two-Sample Hypothesis Test for Orientation Data.” MAA’s Tensor Foundation Women 在数学方面 Grant provided partial funding for these reSearch projects. 除了, Russ Howell’s student David Kyle gave a talk on his complex analysis reSearch, “蒙特迪斯科伯爵,而凯尔·汉森, Olivia Hughes and Samuel Muthiah presented posters on their work in the 2016 spring semester Problem Solving seminar.
数学系校友亮点
凯尔·贝克勒06届 作为一名数据科学家 世邦魏理仕 在圣巴巴拉. 2015年，凯尔完成了博士学位.D. 加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的统计数据. 他的专业领域包括预测建模, 机器学习, 杠杆信用, 金融建模.
罗比·切里06年 获得教育学硕士学位, 越野和田径教练, 当过代课老师. He now teaches mathematics at Crean Lutheran High School in Irvine, Calif., and serves as an assistant coach for cross country and track and field. He has fond memories of tea and snacks at his professors’ 首页s accompanied by conversations about trisecting angles.
Kristin Kidd Demmert ' 06 received her nursing degree at Johns Hopkins University and works at an infertility clinic in Denver, 科罗拉多州. 她正在攻读护理学硕士学位. She fondly remembers hours of reviewing concepts in the math office at the chalkboard, 所有的晚餐都在一起, 在这么紧密的团队里学习数学.
梅丽莎·麦克劳德，06年 teaches middle school and high school math at an international school in China, 从六年级的数学到AP微积分. 她的学生来自世界各地, 包括韩国, 马来西亚, 新加坡, 加拿大和土耳其. Her Westmont education prepared her well for some of the questions students ask, 如, “pi在数轴上的具体位置?”
帕齐·卡尔德隆·劳埃德01届 earned a master’s degree in biostatistics at Harvard School of Public Health and works as a statistician at International Partnership for Microbicides, 帮助开展针对女性的艾滋病毒杀菌剂的临床试验. 她还在攻读流行病学博士学位. 她写道, “我很感激教授们的奉献精神, who were genuinely concerned that I not only learned the material they taught, 而是我理解了学习的过程本身. That process is usually uncomfortable; trying to stay up all night to cram new material into your brain before 首页work is due is usually not the way to go. 我一直以来最喜欢的一段话来自Dr. 罗森特莱特:“帕齐，你需要睡觉.’”
Stephanie Earney Meriaux ' 01 graduated with a degree in math and promptly left the comforts of equations for a 4,500-mile bicycle trip across the country followed by an ironman triathlon and a brief career in outdoor education working for Outward Bound and the Boojum Institute. She lives in France and uses her travel and mathematics skills as a project manager for a geographic information systems company that collects and analyzes geographic and demographic information for corporations.
迈克·佩蒂' 06 worked for an internet communications provider and a software developer for manufacturing after finishing his degree in mathematics. 他加入了青年传教会的工作人员，并在罗马尼亚工作. Mike says, “I was a little blown away when I was first introduced to non-Euclidean geometry. 但一旦我有了可以探索的工具和定理, it became much more exciting to wander around this place I’d never been before.”
佩吉·贝尔德·怀廷，2000年 spent a number of years after graduation working as a high school math teacher. 她现在住在印度，为印度基督教事工工作, giving children at risk a 首页 life in the church and an education at the local, 私人, 英语学校.
