Julia Pevtsova awarded NSF CAREER grant
January 2010: Julia Pevtsova has received a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF awards these prestigious grants to "junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations." Some of the ways Pevtsova will use the CAREER grant include developing new connections between representation theory and algebraic geometry, advancing understanding of geometric and homological properties of representations of algebras, and expanding her outreach efforts.

Mark Bun and Will Johnson awarded UW Sophomore and Junior Medals
January 2010: Mark Bun and Will Johnson have been awarded the UW's Sophomore and Junior Medals. The University of Washington awards these medals to the junior and senior having the highest scholastic standing for the first two and three years of coursework, respectively. Mark is a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science. Will, already a Computer Science major, recently declared as a Mathematics major as well. Mark, Will, and the Freshman Medalist each credit Mathematics faculty as significant influences. Read more in this University Week article.

Finding solutions to thousand year old problem
November 2009: Graduate student Robert Bradshaw is part of an international group of mathematicians who have resolved the first one trillion cases of a thousand year old mathematics problem: Which whole numbers can be the area of a right-angled triangle whose sides are whole numbers or fractions? See the Unversity Week article and American Institute of Mathematics press release for further details.
