ALT "Calculus: A Love Sonnet," by Anna Remennik. Love does not monotonically increase, Nor oscillate in neatly ordered peaks. Love has no asymptote. It brings no peace To one who finds, and less to one who seeks. Ah, Love – it has no value of its own. Like shallow roots unanchored in the ground That wilt, though necessary, love alone Is not sufficient, as so many found. Love builds, like area below a curve, And, slice by tiny slice, transmutes and grows. However wildly the path may swerve, We, like converging sequences, draw close. Without an algorithm, or map, or chart, We integrate into each other’s heart.
ALT In recent years, some states have modified their electoral systems to incorporate alternative methods of voting (e.g. Ranked Choice) or to change the structure of primary and general elections. For instance, Alaska now uses a statewide open primary, followed by a Ranked Choice election among the top four vote-getters from the primary. In this brief presentation, Dr. Brendan Sullivan, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Emmanuel College, will discuss some of these electoral methods that are in use or being considered for future use. We’ll look at results from example elections to better understand that changing how we vote may have an impact on who ends up participating in elections, as well as who ends up in office.
ALT The poster has a colorful Voronoi diagram background with a black frame around two textboxes. The textbox at the top says in bold white font, “Fourth Annual OURFA^2M^2.” Below this, in smaller white font, the text says: “Online Undergraduate Resource Fair for the Advancement and Alliance of Marginalized Mathematicians.” The bottom two-thirds of the poster is a turquoise-shaded rectangular textbox. The text reads, “For marginalized, minoritized, underrepresented, and underserved undergraduate mathematicians, it can feel difficult to gather the information you need to build your career. We’ve been there, and we’ve got your back. November 18 & 19, 2023 on Zoom. Registration and information at ourfa2m2.org. This free, virtual conference, done in partnership with the Mathematical Association of America, and with grant DUE-2333129 from the National Science Foundation will include: (1) A panel of representatives of summer and semester opportunities, (2) A panel of students who have
