Math students publish paper in Electronic Journal of Combinatorics

Adam M. Goyt, Mathematics, Brady Keller (co 2014), and Jon Rue (co 2011) had their paper “Statistical Distributions and q-Analogues of k-Fibonacci Numbers” published in the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics. In their paper they study the distribution of permutation and set partition statistics over sets counted by the k-Fibonacci numbers. These sets arise naturally out of the notion of pattern […]

University Physics Competition was top performing team from the U.S.

MSUM’s University Physics Competition team earned MSUM a bronze medal, and was the top preforming team from the U.S. for the problem they selected, notably defeating NDSU, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Upperclassmen Meredith McLinn, Pragalav Karki and Shouvik Bhattacharya modeled the effect an Earth-like planet’s mass has on its volcanic activity. To learn […]

Physics major attended the 221st Meeting of American Astronomical Society

Physics major, Shouvik Bhattacharya attended the 221st Meeting of American Astronomical Society in Long Beach, Calif., Jan. 6-10. American Astronomical Society is the major organization for professional astronomers in North America. Although the meeting’s target audience are PhD’s, postdocs and scientists, a large number of undergraduates participated in this meeting. Bhattacharya attended a reception for undergraduates physics and astronomy majors […]
