Undergraduate Student Researcher à Muhlenberg College Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
  • Etats Unis - Pennsylvanie
  • mai 2017 à août 2017

• Studied the generalization of eventually-periodic simple continued fractions in which all numerators are replaced with a fixed value, and evaluated limits of such expressions at infinity. Results about the convergence of such expressions were proven.
• Used graph theory to study how connectivity affected optimization of theoretical network reliability measures given specific constraints. An analysis of the reliability of graphs in the general class G(n, m) is presented in relation to the new studied definitions. Efforts for optimization were successful.
• Organized and participated in weekly presentations for collaborative projects.
• Attended weekly seminars led by faculty researchers.
• Presented research outcomes at numerous conferences across the United States, including Joint Mathematics Meetings.
