A pair of Calvin senior mathematics majors won the Ron Mosier memorial award from the Michigan Section of the Mathematical Association of America. The award is given for the best student presentation(s) at the annual meeting of the section.
Kaylee Kooiman presented "Realizable Graphs of Equivalence Classes of Zero Divisors," based on her research last summer at Brigham Young University.
Ethan Van Andel presented "Computing the Riemann and Ahlfors Maps," which was based upon research he's done at Calvin for the past two years.
Kooiman and Van Andel were the only two recipients of the award. Students from Eastern Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, Michigan State University and Lawrence Tech University also presented at the annual meeting.
Kooiman and Van Andel are 2011 graduates of Calvin College and will continue their mathematics education at the University of California Riverside and the University of California Berkeley, respectively.
