Find out about the research done over the summer by Kenyon math students. In the first part of this series, we will feature students who did research off campus last summer.

Ethan Cripe Bonnell did research this summer at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Ethan explored various group actions on sets of chords, particularly on unified sets of triads and seventh chords, and categorized these groups by their structure and cardinality relative to the sets upon which they act.

Saurav Pandey did research through the OSU SURE Program for the summer. The focus of the research was to optimize an algorithm written by Hittmeir that is able to find an element of large order at about the same cost as checking the order of a given element. For inputs N and delta, this element has an order of at least delta.

Finally, Ella Wilson did research at Yale’s REU SUMRY Program. Her research was to find the minimal splitting surface of the ideal octahedron in the Poincare ball using combinatorial methods.

Join us on Monday, October 3, from 3:10 to 4 p.m. in Hayes 109 to hear this exciting panel of presentations. We hope to see you then!
