Four Unforgettable Mathematicians
Blake Armstrong
Advisor: Ze'ev Barel
Brief Description of Paper:
Despite being held back by society and their families, female mathematicians did contribute a great deal to the did contribute a great deal to the development of mathematics. Hypatia (c. 370-415), Maria Agnesi (1718-1799), Sophie Germain (1776-1831), and Sophia Kovalevskaya (1850-1891) were four such contributors. We will discuss the biographies of these four women and highlight the mathematical accomplishments for which each is most recognized.聽

Introduction to Wavelets and Multiresolution Analysis
Laura Brandebura
Advisor: Dwayne Collins
Brief Description of Paper:
The paper presents an analysis of signals as functions in L^2(R) by means of orthonormal bases for L^2(R) via multiresolution analysis.

Compiler Construction
Martin Eckles
Advisor: Ali Kooshesh
Brief Description of Paper:
Compilers translate input programs from one programming language to another. The construction of a compiler is a complicated task. This paper deals with some of the theoretical and implementational issues in writing a compiler.

Bond Lattices
Shiloh Harder
Advisor: David Sutherland
Brief Description of Paper:
In this paper, we characterize the bond lattices for several specific classes of graphs. Then we describe the graph automorphisms for each type of bond lattice.

Three-dimensional Volumetric Modeling of Ophiomorpha Using Two-dimensional Surfaces
Jeff Johnston
Advisor: Lars Seme
Brief Description of Paper:
In the study of extinct burrowing animals, often the only remaining record is their fossilized burrows. A mathematical model is developed trows. A mathematical model is developed to take two-dimensional data of fossilized Ophiomorpha burrows to create a three-dimensional representation of the burrow network. Using this model, we can better study the extent of the burrow network without having to scrape and document a large volume of work.

Inverse Limits and Link-Expansive Chains
Brian Raines
Advisor: Dwayne Collins
Brief Description of Paper:
A sufficient condition for two maps, f and g, on [0,1] to generate homeomorphic inverse limits will be presented.

Counting Systems of Distinct Representatives
Shane Wanamaker
Advisor: Dwayne Collins
Brief Description of Paper:
This talk introduces methods of counting the number of possible SDR's under certain restrictions.
-- Shane Wanamaker
Partitions and Their Young's Lattices
David Warren
Advisor: David Sutherland
Brief Description of Paper:
In this paper, I extended previous work in partitions and two dimensional lattices to include partitions with representative three-dimensional lattices. The paper also looks at conjugate lattices and the relationship between them.
