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 - Microbiology Learning Community to be Offered Spring 2009!! 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 "Risking Disease - Microbiology by the Numbers" will take such an approach as it explores the uses of statistics in microbiology research. Students will learn how statistics is used in microbiology research by focusing on experimental design and the evaluation of results. This Learning Community will be offered at the Preston Ridge Campus this Spring  at 10:00 a.m. - 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday/Thursday. This Learning Community combines MATH 1342 - Statistics and BIOL 2421 - Microbiology. For more information concerning this Learning Community contact Bill Ardis (Mathematics) or Carrie Bottoms (Microbiology).     HOME | FACULTY | MATH LAB | COURSE SYLLABI | TECHNOLOGY & LABS | MATH LINKS | CCCCD
