BOLIVAR, Mo. – Southwest Baptist
University student Aaron Davis presented April 13 at the 29th Annual
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Conference on Undergraduate Mathematics. The
conference goal was “to spotlight and celebrate the accomplishments and work of
undergraduate mathematicians.”
“This presentation
will report the results of an investigation of the prime factors of the
positive integers 2 through n as n gets
large. Tools used in the investigation include means, variances, and standard
deviations. Computer programs were used to investigate these measurements to
see if they yield any discernible pattern(s) including if there is a limit
associated with means, variances, or standard deviations as n gets
large. This is mainly a computational approach rather than a theoretical
approach.”
Dr.
Stephen Bowling has been the faculty advisor with Davis’ work. Davis will be
presenting an updated version of this talk on Thursday, May 3, 5-6:00 p.m.in
the Wheeler Science Building, room 126. The public is invited to attend.
