Our research experimentally, mathematically, and computationally investigated the singularity that forms at the tip of water droplets freezing on a flat surface (Snoeijer and Brunet, AJP 2012). We designed an apparatus to...
In studying dynamical systems, we often use algebraic tools to determine the dynamical behavior of a given function. However, when working with a transcendental function such as the real Weierstrass elliptic function, ℘, we...
Symmetric spaces of Lie groups and Riemannian manifolds have been an area of study since the seminal work of Cartan in the early 19th century with applications to representation theory, geometry, and number theory. Though...
Every first-year student at Dickinson College is required to take a first-year seminar. The summer before the students arrive they each select six seminars among all the seminar choices. Each student is then assigned to a...
The study of braids started in the early 20th century with the motivation of revealing properties of knots and links. The Artin braid group gives an algebraic tool to analyze the braid actions and the equivalence of braids....
