The Math Club & Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) put together an event where math faculty came by to give students a sense of their area of expertise and give them a glimpse of what it's like working in that area. Thanks to Prof. Bou-Rabee, Prof. Santoro, Prof. Shub, and Prof. Wolf for giving talks!

The National Math Alliance held their annual Field of Dreams conference in St. Louis on November 2nd, 2018. We had six of our students attend the conference along with Prof. Hooper, who is the director of the regional NYC Regional Math Alliance. They got to hear numerous talks on opportunities in mathematical sciences, career fairs, research opportunities, and got to meet lots of faculty from various universities.

Jason Redman gave a talk to the Math Club and AWM on graph theory and linear algebra. The talk started talking about the Seven Bridges of Konigsberg and lead into random walks on graphs and using diagonalized matrices to find steady-state probabilities for state diagrams.

Undergraduate senior and AWM president, Anna Tao, did a poster presentation at Kean Univeristy on Aperiodic Points and Self-Similarity of an Infinite Interval Exchange Transformation. This is a project she worked with Prof. Hooper as part of the 2018 Summer Rich Internship at CCNY.

The NYC Regional Math Alliance had their first annual conference at Kean Univeristy on September 15th. There were several students, faculty, and staff that came from CCNY and even one senior, Anna Tao, did a poster presentation on Aperiodic Points and Self-Similarity of an Infinite Interval Exchange Transformation. Maria Isabel-Sanchez, CCNY Alumni and current PhD student at the University of Minnesota, gave a talk on Non smooth bifurcations on Welander's Model. Thanks to the directors of the NYC Regional Math Alliance, Prof. Chinta and Prof. Hooper, as well as the faculty from Kean University for being very accommodating and welcoming. Thank you to all of the other math alliance faculty who helped put together a wonderful conference.
