The Department welcomes two new faculty members:
Bogdan Petrenko formerly of University of Illinois
and Alejandra Alvarado recently of Purdue University.
Jonelle and Leo Comerford visited the Department this fall after
having moved to Colorado.

Six students and two faculty members from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science attended the Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges' Midwest Conference this September in Findlay, Ohio. Professors Andrew Mertz and Nancy Van Cleave gave a presentation on an assignment for Computer Science 1 called “Bubble Fountain with Wandering Black Hole: Designing a Particle Class.”

Students competed in a programing competition where one of the teams consisting of Murat Aksoy, Joel Blome and Brian Bourne came in second place among all 26 teams at the competition. Another team of Jason Banahan, Bradley Chatman and Ross Mattingly came in 13th place.
Bill Slough and Andrew Mertz attended a TeX conference at the University of Tokyo in October.
Keith Wolcott has retired from teaching and will spend some of his spare time preparing for a long distance bike race.

Galperin to Talk on Billiards Today:

Assume that there is a collection of semi-circles of diameter 1 in the upper half plane centered at the integer points (n,0) on the x-axis. A released billiard ball falls down under the vertical constant gravitational force g. The ball bounces off the semi-circles according to the billiard law and describes a trajectory γ. Record the indices of the semi-circles the ball hits as a sequence

ω = (ω1, ω2, ...),

which we call the one-sided itinerary of the trajectory γ. We will investigate this dynamical system.
