About Our People
Ed Higgins (Writer in Residence/English Faculty Emeritus) published three poems this spring. His “Night’s Quiet Lightâ€Â appeared in the April 8 issue of the online publication The Pangolin Review; his piece “For the children of Dunblane, Scotland†was published in the April 2021 issue of Months To Years; and his “too rapidly†appeared in the March 1 issue of Failed Haiku: A Journal of English Senryu (Vol. 6, Issue 63).
Advised by Corban Harwood (Mathematics), 2020 Richter scholar Ethan Jensen (Mathematics & Computer Science double major) won first prize for his presentation of their paper, “Existence and Shape of Numerical Oscillations in Solving Parabolic PDEs” at the Northwest Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium on April 10. Together, Corban and Ethan settled an open question on why certain solutions could be relied upon in practice when they were theoretically untrustworthy due to the creation of noise in the signal. The article is under review.
