Thompson accepted as a mentor to the PIC Math program

Rob Thompson, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, has been accepted as a mentor for the program “Preparation for Industrial Careers in Mathematical Sciences” (PIC Math). As part of this program, Rob will advise a group of Carleton students as they tackle industrial mathematics research problems proposed by business, industrial, and government partners. Past participants in the program have worked on problems for Los Alamos National Lab, Intel Corporation, RAND Corporation, and many others. Students will present problem solutions directly to company liaisons and publicly at the national “Mathfest” conference in Summer 2017. PIC Math is a program administered by the Mathematical Association of America and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF grant DMS-1345499).  Click here for more information.
