Check out our awesome Math & Biostatistics major Kira, featured in the @EmmanuelCollege news for her research projects with classmates and faculty!

"The combination of small school and having a biostatistics major is pretty rare, so Emmanuel stood out."

If you know of any other appearances of Sr. Michaels' work, or have a copy of her dissertation, please let us know. Thanks!

[Emmanuel College Mathematics Department @EC_Math_Dept]

We remember Sister Elizabeth Michaels, who passed away recently.

She graduated from @EmmanuelCollege in 1946 with a degree in mathematics, then returned later to serve as Professor of Mathematics, earning her PhD in math from Notre Dame during that time.

Her PhD thesis was "A Study of Simple Groups of Even Order"

I was unable to find a copy of it online, but I did find a citation of her work in this 1976 article from @MAAnow Mathematics Magazine:

New publication in Journal of @royalsociety Interface: "Symmetry in Models of Natural Selection"

I use group theory to show how symmetry simplifies and reduces the Markov chain for natural selection

Why do mathematicians mix up Halloween and Christmas?

Because OCT 31 = DEC 25
