Item Mathematical Contest in Modeling 2014(2014) Helgeson, Jasmine; Ni, Penghuan; Schoenheider, Tim; Bauer, Philip; Schmieg, Jesse; Toninato, Joe; University of Minnesota Duluth. Department of Mathematics and StatisticsEach February, a nationwide international Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) is held. Contestants have 96 hours to select from one of two problems and submit a solution. This year, two teams represented UMD. One team selected PROBLEM A: The Keep- Right-Except-To-Pass Rule, to develop a model to determine whether this is an effective rule in promoting better traffic flow, or whether some other rule might be better. The other team selected PROBLEM B: College Coaching Legends, to build a mathematical model to choose the best college coach or coaches from among either male or female coaches in such sports as college hockey, field hockey, football, baseball, basketball, or soccer. The teams will discuss the contest problems, their proposed solutions, and their overall experience with the competition.Item Numberlines (2000 Fall)(2000) University of Minnesota Duluth.

Department of Mathematics and Statistics; University of Minnesota Duluth. Department of Mathematics and StatisticsIn this colloquium two UMD students will describe their honors projects and a third will discuss his internship. Philip Bauer explored some properties of continued fractions; Jordan Maiers investigated the behavior of the Mandelbrot set; and Adam Swinney was a Travelers Insurance, oil and gas actuarial summer student.Item Three Undergraduate Research Projects (2014-05-08)(2014) Helgeson, Jasmine; Hu, Chenxiao; Lv, Jing; University of Minnesota Duluth. Department of Mathematics and Statistics; University of Minnesota Duluth. Department of Mathematics and StatisticsIn this colloquium three UMD undergraduate students will describe their research projects. Jasmine Helgeson examined the extent to which policies have created differences in the amount of electrical power generated from wind turbines across the US. Chenxiao Hu used the community college GPA of transfer students enrolled in UMD General Biology to create a model for predicting class grades. She will explain particularly interesting effects of SCSE major and gender. Jing Lv studied how volume and the price/earnings ratio affects stock price based on company size.
