Congratulations Spring 2023 Graduates and Award Winners!

The Mathematics Department extends its congratulations to the graduating class of 2023. Fifty-four (54) undergraduates completed degrees in mathematics this spring. An additional 20 students completed graduate degrees in mathematics. And several students received additional recognition for their accomplishments as Mathematics students at Virginia Tech. Additionally, three of our students competed in the Layman Prize competition for undergraduate research, with junior Robert Long taking the prize. We are proud of all of our students, all that they have accomplished, and all they will accomplish moving forward. Ut Prosim!

On Reading Day, Thursday May 4th, math enthusiasts gathered in the Commons Room to witness the annual Layman Prize Competition for Undergraduate Research in Mathematics organized by the Mathematics Department. Three undergraduate students presented their research:

JC Hartman
Hopf Bifurcation in Neutral Delay Differential Equations: Galerkin Approximation and Center Manifold Reduction
(research advisor Dr. Liu)

Robert Long
A Note on the Density of kth Abundancy Indices
(research advisor Dr. Lungstrum)

Alex Sing
Using a Self-study Approach to Develop Strategies in Proofs Writing from an Epistemological Context
(research advisor Dr. Norton)

Each participant was given 20 minutes to present their work and answer questions from the panel of judges. The evaluation committee of Professors Mihalcea, Sun and Yue had the challenging job of selecting a winner, after hearing three great talks. After deliberating the winner of the competition was announced to be Robert Long with the project "A Note on the Density of kth Abundancy Indices" advised by Dr. Lungstrum. Congratulations to both student and advisor!

We thank all the students and advisors who participated. You can see the complete list of winners posted on our Undergraduate Research page.
