Three members of the Catawba College Mathematics Department faculty recently attended the Joint Mathematics Meetings of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of American in Phoenix, Arizona. Faculty members included Drs. John Zerger, Sharon Sullivan and Paul Baker.

In addition to participating in the meetings, Sullivan presented a paper entitled “Forming Configurations from Nondegenerate Quadratic Forms over Finite Fields.” Zerger worked as a consultant on an Applied Linear Algebra text with W.H. Freeman and Worth Publishing.

In January, three faculty members of the Catawba College’s Mathematics Department attended the annual National Joint Meeting of the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society in Atlanta, Georgia.

Drs. Paul Baker, Sharon Sullivan, and John Zerger participated in the four-day meeting where they attended both mathematical research presentations and discussions on different undergraduate teaching techniques. In addition, Dr. Sullivan also presented a paper on her research titled, Constructing Extension Configurations from vk Configurations.

Also attending was Catawba College graduate, Kristen Kobylus ’04. Kristen is currently attending Wake Forest University in pursuit of a master’s degree in mathematics.
