April is Math Awareness Month!  April is Mathematics Awareness Month, and the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics announced this years theme is "Mathematics and the Brain". Click here for more information on Math Awareness Month. Riemann Hypothesis One of 7 Millennium Problems The Clay Mathematics Institute selected seven mathematical problems as their Millennium Problems. The institute is offering a prize of $1 million for a correct solution or proof to each problem. Included in the list is the Riemann Hypothesis. The Riemann Hypothesis has been mentioned in A Beautiful Mind, as well as a recent episode of NUMB3RS. Statistics - Biology Learning Community to be Offered Fall 2007!! As new discoveries are being made in genetics, cell biology, and medicine, biological research is becoming more quantitative. This connection between biology and mathematics has been the topic of a recent report, the National Research Council of the National Academies of Science report, BIO2010: Transforming Undergraduate Education for Future Research Biologists, and the conference Meeting the Challenges in Emerging Areas: Education Across the Biological, Mathematical, and Computer Sciences. One of the recommendations from BIO2010 is an interdisciplinary approach to biology and mathematics. As the report stated, “Connections between biology and other scientific disciplines need to be developed and reinforced so the interdisciplinary thinking and work become second nature.” The Learning Community "Chances in Life - A Quantitative Approach to Biology" will take such an approach as it explores the uses of statistics in biological research. Students will learn how statistics is used in biological research by focusing on experimental design and the evaluation of results. This Learning Community will be offered at the Preston Ridge Campus this Fall at 10:00 a.m. - 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday/Thursday. This Learning Community combines MATH 1342 - Statistics and BIOL 1406- General Biology I.
