Millersville University Math students
win top research honors.
Math majors Andrew
Baxter and Stephen
Weaver, both entering their junior year at Millersville University, were honored by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) for their outstanding
undergraduate research conducted during the spring 2003 semester. Fifty three undergraduates from across the USA presented research papers in nine juried student
paper sessions held in Boulder Colorado from July 31 to August 2 during MathFest 2003, the annual summer meeting of the MAA. The best presentation in each session
received a citation for excellence and a $150 cash award. Baxter and Weaver's presentation entitled
"Periodic Orbits in Triangular Air Hockey," was cited as one of the
nine best. Their research was directed
by Drs. Ron Umble and Zhoude Shao.
