Upcoming Events:

Free Math Picnic

When: Tuesday, May 6th at 2pm
Where: Highland Park (see below for directions)
Rain or shine...we'll be under a pavillion

Who can come? Anyone!!!? Math majors, non-math majors, math department faculty and family
How much to attend? nothing...its FREE

This Tuesday is the Math department's annual picnic.
We will be serving hamburgers, hotdogs and veggie burgers.
There will also be chips, cookies, pop, juice and water.
And some of the math faculty will be bringing desserts, salads and other dishes to pass!
So stop by to have some free food and hang out with friends and professors.

Bring sporting equipment too!? We usually start up a game of something for those interested.
Some ideas are: volleyballs, tennis rackets (there's courts), kickballs (there's a baseball diamond), kan jam, frisbees, football, basketballs(there are hoops there)...whatever you want!

Hope to see everyone there!
Tell all your friends...and email prism@geneseo.edu if you have any questions.
Thanks!!!!

Directions to Highland Park (which is within walking distance from campus)
Highland Park is at the intersection of Highland Street and Oak Street

Here's one way to get there:
If you're coming from campus make your way up the hill on North Street.
Then turn right on Highland Rd (it's the road at the top of the hill at the 4-way stop sign) Head down Highland Rd and the park will be on your left (at the same spot that Oak St intersects Highland Rd)

Comic of the Month: January


"Math and the Brain" is the theme for Mathematics Awareness Month; April 2007.

Mathematics plays a vital role in one of the most exciting challenges in modern science: To understand the human brain and its mechanisms. Modeling and computational simulation have complemented laboratory experiments to understand how the brain functions at many levels; theoretical models and computational methods are used to unravel the circuitry of the cerebral cortex; research in the dynamics of networks is helping to understand how patterns arise in large non-homogeneous networks, such as the brain; and imaging, which depends heavily on mathematical and computational tools, provides a non-invasive method for gathering information on brain activity, form and function.
