Join the Mathematics and Statistics Department for a variety of stimulating math talks. We will meet every Monday from 3:10 to 4 p.m. (unless otherwise noted). For those who are on our distribution list, instructions on how to join each virtual meeting will be sent to your Kenyon email. If you would like to be added to the distribution list, please email Emily Teater at teater1@kenyon.edu.
Students who participated in summer research programs share their work over the summer.

Our first Math Monday of the new year is set for Sept. 1. Please join us for a Math Nature Walk, which will start at 3:10 p.m. Plan to meet at the outside doors to Hayes Hall. We will leave shortly after 3:10 p.m.
A drink station will be available before the walk, but you are encouraged to bring your own water bottles. This is your chance to catch up with old friends and meet new ones as we say hello to all our fellow math and stats faculty and students. We hope to see you there!
Meet and greet with your fellow math/stat students and the math and statistics faculty at this year's First-Year Welcome Tea. Say hello to our math community and hear about all the exciting news in math and statistics. Learn about exciting opportunities and our Math Monday series.
Join us on the Peirce Hall Patio (weather permitting) at 3:10 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 8. We will be offering a variety of snacks with lemonade and iced tea. Celebrate another year of mathematics and statistics here at Kenyon. We hope to see you there!
Every summer, many of our students participate in various summer research programs. Students work as full participants in the processes of creating a research plan, executing a research project and preparing results for presentation in a public forum. Learn more about the research done by your fellow mathematics and statistics students.
This week's panelists include a couple of students who worked off-campus for their research.
Kate Bogan '27 spent the summer participating in the Ohio 5 Summer Undergraduate Research Experience, a program specifically for students from small, liberal arts colleges in Ohio. Using R simulations, she looked at different methods of evaluating vaccine efficacy, comparing a non-parametric method with an ordinal regression method.
Lucas Waite '28 researched Extremal graph theory at IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute and continued research after the program. Lucas’s focus was on bipartite Extremal numbers, and ultimately culminated in an observation about the extremal number for a specific class of trees. The research is still ongoing, but Lucas hopes to address some open problems posed by Yair Caro, Balázs Patkós and Zsolt Tuza in their recent paper “Bipartite Turán number of trees.”
Join us on Monday, Sept. 15, at 3:10 pm in Hayes Hall 109 to hear these exciting presentations and perhaps learn how you too can get involved in summer research programs. We hope to see you there!
