Week Six

Overview of the Speakers:

The graduate students were very interesting. I thought their talks were very useful because I don't talk to graduate students very often about how they got where they are or why. I thought Regon's talk was the most entertaining but he's always very animated so that was fun. Derek, Pam, and Todd were interesting too. I just liked listening to their stories. It was fun.

I liked L. Charles Biehl's talk about his involvement on the show Numb3rs. I thought the math was very interesting. It wasn't anything I had seen before and I think its a great way to make students more interested in math by relating it to a TV show.

Prof. Schleiniger's talk was a little bit beyond of what I understood. I don't know much about business and I kindof don't have much of an interest in business but I did understand part of it! He was also very nice and interesting.
