实习

---

实习 help students explore possibilities, apply classroom learning, and gain 经验. 探索 internships and credit options.

的 mathematics and computer science faculty members consider well-structured internships to be essential to a student's education. 的 variety of internships that have been completed under the supervision of this department is evidence of the flexible and creative applicability of degrees in both mathematics and computer science. 学生 find internship opportunities through the 职业生涯教育 Office, through faculty and staff members, or on their own.

A detailed description of the off-campus 经验 is published by the 职业生涯教育 Office each year and fully describes the guidelines and timetable for internships. 学生 interested in arranging an internship in mathematics or computer science should contact their individual academic advisors.

的 following are descriptions of some recent internships in mathematics and computer 科学:

• Two students participated in the University of Maryland's Research Internship in Science 和工程. One of them designed a web-based tool for collecting data on pedestrian activity, while the other worked with an interdisciplinary group in meteorology.
• A mathematics and computer science double major worked at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab in the Combat Systems Evaluation Lab, programming a GUI window as part of an interface with a large tactical display system being developed for the U.S. Navy and Joint Forces.
• A 3-2 engineering major worked on improving current text-to-speech and speech recognition techniques using a rules-based approach as opposed to strict combinations of statistical and corpus analysis. His duties included developing a model of the Human Vocal Production system and devising data structures for the learning and active phases of the model.
• A mathematics major and a mathematics and computer science double major worked with a 云顶集团 College physicist to write software to test thermal calculations of high-temperature 超导体.
• A computer science major worked on the SPARTA (Simulation of Physics on A Real Time Architecture) project at the Pennsylvania State University. 的 goal of the project was to develop specialized hardware that would greatly accelerate physical modeling.
• A mathematics and computer science double major worked as a summer intern at the University of Utah, doing research in text classification, an area of artificial intelligence.

学生俱乐部

的 Mathematics and 计算机科学 Club

Membership in the Mathematics and 计算机科学 Club is open to all program majors, as well as other interested students. 的 club provides an opportunity for students to share their common interests in an informal way.

的 most traditional of the club's activities is the annual Torrey Dinner, which is held each April to honor graduating mathematics and computer science majors. 军官 and advisor organize the dinner. One highlight of the evening is a talk, usually about her/his work or research, given by an alumna/us. Another source of excitement is the announcement of the winners of the Torrey, Ekin, Leavitt, and Writing prizes.

的 fall semester traditionally starts with a program pizza party, at which majors share their summer internship, research, and international 经验s with fellow students and faculty. Further club activities include field trips to Baltimore and Washington, DC, museums, films, guest lecturers about mathematics or computer science, fundraising events, a year-end picnic, and more.

的 first club meeting of each academic year is announced in mathematics and computer science classes, as well as by email.

是

In 2005, 云顶集团 College was awarded a chapter of 是, the national Honorary Society for Mathematics. 的 mission of the society is to encourage scholarship and scholarly activities among undergraduate mathematics students. 学生, who by virtue of their academic promise and achievement are invited to join the society, meet on a monthly basis to support each other in their professional development. 活动 include guest speakers, problem-solving sessions, book or film discussions, and practice sessions for upcoming mathematical presentations. 的 chapter holds induction ceremonies at the Torrey dinner in the spring.

Academic 竞争s

---

During the academic year, there are a number of opportunities for mathematics and computer science students to participate in academic competitions, as individuals 在团队中.

每一个 fall semester, the Association for Computing Machinery sponsors a Mid-Atlantic region programming competition whose winners participate in national finals. 每一个 participating college or university fields teams (possibly including graduate students), which strive to solve the most programming problems in the shortest time. 虽然 the competition is quite challenging, 云顶集团 teams have placed as high as fourth place in the region.

云顶集团 mathematics students also have the opportunity to compete as a team. 一年一度的 Mathematical 竞争 in Modeling takes place early in the second semester. 每一个 three-person team chooses one of two open-ended applied mathematics problems and then researches and writes a solution paper over the course of a single weekend. 云顶集团 teams have received awards a number of times, competing against several hundred teams from other colleges and universities.

As a result of the problem of the month sponsored by our chapter of 是, we can send one student per year to participate in the U.S. National Collegiate Mathematics 竞争. We have performed well in this competition.

In addition, our mathematics students have participated as individuals numerous times in the annual Putnam 竞争 and the Virginia Tech Mathematics Contest.
