Semester Update (News from Old Main)

The semester has flown by and like the proverbial bee we have been busy.
The Department has been sadden with the loss of our one time Chair
Alphonso (a.k.a Dr. D) DiPietro and Llyod Koontz.

We are now in the midst of Final Exams and we look forward to a
little break from the classroom routine.

The department held its holiday party on Friday December 10th after classes. Some 7 loaves of bread were consummed as well as a variety of treats.

The Comerford's hosted a holiday party for the math majors this past Saturday
December 11th. The highlight of the party was a game of departmental trivial pursuit.

The colloquium committee hosted several talks this semester including two lectures from outside the department ending with a delightful talk on boids and other animation curiousities by Professors Van Cleave and Mertz.

Once again the departments majors participated in the Putnam Exam December 4th. The exam preparation is headed by Keith Walcott.
