GEOL-G 188/CLLC-L 130 Volcanoes of the Eastern Sierra Nevada

Join our intro-level “expedition” science course, “Volcanoes of the Eastern Sierra Nevada”, taught jointly through the IU Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences and Collins Living-Learning Center.

The class offers a hands-on, inquiry-oriented introduction to the geological and ecological setting of one of the most beautiful and environmentally diverse areas of the western U.S. It’s open to all IU students – no prerequisites!

The course includes 1-cr seminar-style class during the second half of spring semester, followed by a 2-week field trip to the Sierras, May 9 – 23. Scholarships are available for Collins residents and prospective Geological or Environmental Sciences majors.

For more information, see http://www.indiana.edu/~sierra/, where you’ll find course information, some great photos from last year’s field course and on-line application information.

Indianapolis Teaching Fellows

After graduation, how will you launch a high-impact career in Indianapolis?

Historically, high-need students in Indianapolis have not had equal access to an education that adequately prepares them for college and career. Indianapolis Teaching Fellows trains recent college graduates to become exceptional, certified teachers. Our fast-paced six-week summer training program focuses on the essential skills that teachers need most to start strong. Fellows will repeatedly practice foundational classroom management and instructional techniques, receive direct feedback from skilled coaches, and must pass a series of evaluations in order to be eligible to start teaching in the fall.

*We want you to join this elite group of educators.*

Apply here – applications are accepted on a rolling basis; the next deadline is December 11.

Butler University’s 30th Annual Undergraduate Research Conference (URC)

We hope you’ll join us for Butler University’s 30th Annual Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) on April 13, 2018, in Indianapolis. The 2017 URC featured the outstanding work of more than 540 undergraduate students from 13 different states representing 61 colleges and universities. Clearly, the reputation of the URC continues to spread across the country, and we hope to welcome another wide-ranging and diverse group of scholars once again this year.

Our 30th conference will feature oral presentations, competitive papers, poster presentations (featuring a new format), art exhibits, and research roundtables.

We welcome your attendance and participation in 2018. Submissions are welcomed from January 1–February 15. You may find more information about the URC at urc.butler.edu.

MATH-S 415 Honors Complex Analysis

Math-S 415 Honors Complex Analysis

Complex analysis is, according to a physicist I met, “The only subject clearly created by God.”

We will get to see why. For example:

1. Take the number e, and raise it to the power pi times i, and add 1…you get 0.
So the five most fundamental numbers in the universe are related by a single beautiful equation.

2. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: every nonconstant polynomial has a root in the complex plane.

3. The usual definition of being differentiable, applied to functions from the complex plane to itself, turns out to be equivalent to the condition that the function preserves angles (at places where the derivative doesn’t vanish.)

4. A complex-differentiable function is determined by its boundary values.

5. Complex analysis is the birthplace of topology, algebraic geometry, and analytic number theory.
