Casey & Michelle present poster
Casey McKnight and Michelle Zagardo presented a poster on
"Spectral Theory of Mele Graphs" at the Young Mathematicians Conference
at Ohio State. The poster represented the work that they did
along with Peter Muller under the supervision of UW Math faculty
Jeff Selden.
Jeff also attended the conference.

Monday and Tuesday
Monday students worked in their groups on their projects.
Tuesday afternoon two of Anne Gelb's students presented their research. They are working on frames as an alternative to orthonormal bases and cleaning up medical resonance images. These presentations were well done.
Tuesday evening Bryan had all of us over for Korean barbecue, it was wonderful! Good to get to talk with all of the students and everyone involved outside of the academic setting. We look forward to the presentations this afternoon!

Wednesday,Thursday, and Friday
Wednesday afternoon Lynne Ipina spoke with the student about the mathematical community. In her presentation she encouraged the students to become a part of the community, and also stressed the necessity of such communities. Lynne also brought in some of the old books that she has found over the years. She also stressed the need for problem solvers as well as problem posers in mathematics.
Thursday Students traveled to NCAR (the National Center for Atmospheric Research) and were given a behind the scenes tour of the facilities in Boulder. Students were given a chance to see the supercomputer, the imaging lab, a presentation on building the supercomputer as well as the airport facilities owned by NCAR. This experience was very unique for the students and hopefully will give them motivation through this last week of their experience.
Friday afternoon Anne Gelb from ASU gave the students a presentation about image processing. The students then went on to give their presentations. The projects are looking good and hopefully the reports will be in top shape this final week of the REU.

Tuesday
Students worked in groups this morning.
After lunch Bryan Shader and Beth Buskirk talked with the students about graduate school. The students had some good questions about graduate school and all that is involved. Bryan also handed out a practice exam for the Mathematics subject GRE, as well as a handout about choosing a mentor. If students have any questions about graduate school they can contact Beth or Bryan.
Now students are back working on their projects.

Friday and Monday
Friday students worked on their projects.
This morning students worked on projects.
After lunch two former University of Wyoming students came and talked about working for the DOD. The students had many good questions and were able to find out more about working for the government as a mathematician. Now the students are back to their projects, keeping in mind that there will be presentations on Friday and they need to have a second draft prepared by Friday.
