SU math faculty represented at the Faculty Staff Appreciation Day at the SU football game! @dralimarr @f_futamura and Dr. Brian Wu. SU wins 45-19 against Austin College! #besouthwestern
CS Prof Barbara Anthony presented a paper this month at the International Conference on Mathematical Optimization Theory and Operations Research in Irkutsk-Baikal, Russia!
Assistant Professor of Mathematics John Ross @JohnRossMath worked with two students on math research this summer! Together, the team solved an isoperimetric-style on how to optimally arrange four regions along a number line imbued with a prescribed density.
SCOPE 2021 students Anna Wicker and Maxx Batterton worked with Associate Professor of Comp Sci Dr. Schrum to use Quality Diversity algorithms to discover interesting art and video game levels by exploring new ways to search for and categorize novel artifacts.
@f_futamura is also coauthor of a book on perspective and projective geometry! It has lots of hand on exercises, examples, visual puzzles and Geogebra modules. More here: https://t.co/UE36QSrfAF
Math prof @f_futamura co-taught a minicourse through @maanow in June called Gaining Perspective on Geometry: IBL Activities That Use Art in Projective Geometry. It covered perspective drawing, Desargues’s Theorem, the cross ratio, and perspective collineations! #MathAndArt
Math professor @TShelton11 just finished up coleading a week long workshop called Model INstructors in Differential Equations (MINDE) about teaching differential equations using a modeling first approach! More on the workshop here: https://t.co/dAEJBNQ4KB

Math professor @f_futamura brought together a community of math, CS, physics and biology students and staff to crochet together virtually during the pandemic, which culminated in a beautiful exhibit of crocheted hyperbolic forms on display at the SU Smith Library.
Faculty, staff, and STEM majors crocheted together virtually all year, culminating in an on-campus exhibit and a new student organization. #BeSouthwestern
