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.
