Friday, Oct. 12 | 3-3:50 p.m. | Hagen Hall 325 Andrew Louwagie Gordon, Updating Java applets using python notebooks. With new updates to the most modern browsers, Java has become obsolete and is being discontinued. Since some of the university’s simulations are written in Java, the simulations needed to be re-written. The presentation is about the python notebooks that have been used […]
Friday, Oct. 5 | 3-3:50 p.m. | Planetarium, Bridges Hall 167 Featured Speaker: Ullar Kivila from the Science Centre AHHAA in Tartu, Estonia This presentation will take a look at the historical journey of the search for extrasolar (or Exo-) planets and the important advances and discoveries along the way that got us to the point where we are now with […]
On Saturday, Sept. 29, MSUM hosted a day of STEM Workshops organized by the MSUM Noyce Program. This and future workshops are intended to better prepare future math and science teachers in the use of technology and new instructional methods. Preservice science and mathematics education majors from MSUM and Concordia along with professors from Concordia, NDSU, and MSUM were treated […]
Friday, Sept. 28 | 3-3:50 p.m. | Hagen Hall 325 Investigations of Noise Transients in the Advanced LIGO Calibration Model LIGO searches for gravitational waves in calibrated data using time-dependent calibration parameters. In this project, we looked for significant fluctuations in these parameters during the second observing run. Large fluctuations in these parameters may indicate a significant error in the Advanced […]
Friday, Sept. 14 | 3-4 p.m. | Hagen Hall 325 Steve Lindaas: Making Connections: micro-controllers and interdisciplinary projects. How do you connect computers to external sensors? How do you connect students to interdisciplinary projects? We will be showcasing the use of Arduino micro-controllers in different projects. Many of these projects are interdisciplinary involving students from different majors and/or requiring the use of a […]
