Michael Pernice
working at a national lab, and emerging area of scientific computing
and engineering.
Wednesday
Wednesday morning students met with their groups and worked diligently!
After lunch Michelle Chamberlin spoke with the students about mathematics education and her job as an assistant professor at UW. The students asked many good questions about research, teaching and service. The session ended with some examples of dividing fractions and just how complicated it can be to explain "invert and multiply" to students.
Now students are again working on their projects hopefully preparing for their presentations tomorrow afternoon! We look forward to seeing where the groups are now.

Monday
Monday students worked on their projects.
Tuesday morning students continued working on projects.
After lunch Michael Pernice from Idaho National Lab spoke about opportunities at INL. This talk included nuclear energy, natural resource recovery, network security, and armor survivability. The students were given a brief introduction to computational aspects of projects at INL.
Now students will continue working on their projects.

Wednesday and Thursday
Wednesday morning students worked in groups.
Wednesday afternoon students were given the opportunity to talk with graduate students about graduate school. The students asked many good questions and hopefully learned a lot about graduate school and what they need to consider when thinking about graduate school. We really appreciate all of the help that these graduate students were able to offer for our students!
Thursday students worked on projects and gave three wonderful presentations about their research. Keep up the good work!

Monday and Tuesday
Monday and Tuesday morning students worked in their groups.
Tuesday after lunch we had Daniell Toth talk to us about his work at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Students learned what it means to give up academic life for a job in the government, you have to love the zero zero load... Students also learned a bit about what goes on in the Bureau, from complex data sets to binary trees.
Now students are back in their groups working on their individual projects.

Friday
Today students worked in groups in the morning.
After lunch Peter Polyakov talked about Mathematical Modeling of Conductivity, this talk fit well with the overarching theme for the summer, that is discrete versus continuous. Peter first introduced his research in the discrete setting, then moved to the continuous setting (1 dimensional to 2 dimensional and beyond). Cloaking was another topic of Peter's talk as well as homogenization.
After this talk Bryan gave the students their goal for next week, they will be giving a more formal talk using Beamer next Thursday. The students will definitely rise to the occasion and we're all looking forward to the talks next Thursday.
