Every November, Missouri State University hosts one of few undergraduate mathematics conferences. MAKO, or Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma, is designed for students from all four states to share their research. Originally started as a National Science Foundation grant in 2005, it has grown into something much bigger. It started with five schools: MSU, College … [Read more...] about Students from neighboring states share love of mathematics
Something seemingly random could turn into something meaningful with the help of Dr. Xingping Sun. With his research in mathematics and artificial intelligence, he's looking for ways to combine his two loves. Sun, professor of mathematics, was recently featured in Mind's Eye. His research focuses on creating something with a lasting impact: Curing diseases, discovering … [Read more...] about Keeping up with machines: Artificial intelligence in math
On July 9, we will see a new face on campus: Dr. Thais Jordao. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Sao Paulo, Sao Carlos, Brazil and will be visiting until July 28 to collaborate with Drs. Xingping Sun and William Bray. Typically, Jordao researches analysis in general and approximation theory. She is joining us at Missouri State to work on their joint … [Read more...] about Teaming up for mathematical gain
