The university’s Department of Mathematics is hosting the annual Pacific Northwest Section Meeting of the Mathematical Association of America in mid-March.
As part of the event, we invite everyone to the opening lecture, “Geometry of the Earth and Universe with The Simpsons and Futurama,” by Dr. Sarah Greenwald, professor of mathematics at Appalachian State University, at 8 p.m. this Friday, March 17, in Canyon Commons. The event is free and geared toward students and the public.
Did you know that the animated shows The Simpsons and Futurama contain hundreds of humorous mathematical and scientific references? A few of these references connect to the geometry of spaces, and we’ll use them to explore some historical and current theories relating to the earth and universe during an interactive talk.
Popular culture can reveal, reflect and even shape how society views mathematics, and with careful consideration of the benefits and challenges, these programs can be an ideal source of fun ways to introduce important concepts and to reduce math anxiety (see SimpsonsMath.com).

For the month of March we are focusing our trauma-informed teaching training on how trauma can affect interpersonal relationships and a person’s sense of self.

Access the schedule and training materials here, and join Erin Johnson and Michelle Deeg-Davis this Friday, March 17, at 3 p.m. The March discussion session will be held online, via Zoom, at this link.

Eighty years ago, Lewis published his most highly regarded book, The Abolition of Man, in which he critiques the secularization of Western cultures and warns that, unchecked, the consequences for modern humanity are significant and destructive.
By comparing Lewis’s projections with modern cultural critiques, Dr. Lorenzini asks how a revived view of Lewis’s analysis might inform a modern apologetic. All are welcome to join us for this thought-provoking presentation.

The Old Testament constitutes the majority of the Christian Bible and provides much of the language of Christian faith. However, many churches tend to neglect this crucial part of Scripture. What should be done about it?
Dr. Brent Strawn will address the very question in a lecture, “The Old Testament is Dying and What You Can (and Should) Do About It,” at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 16, in Canyon Commons. Strawn is professor of Old Testament at Duke Divinity School and holds a secondary appointment at the Duke University School of Law in Durham, North Carolina.
Strawn is author of the book The Old Testament is Dying: A Diagnosis and Recommended Treatment, in which he details a number of ways the Old Testament is showing signs of decay, demise and imminent death in the church. He criticizes current misunderstandings that contribute to its neglect and offers ways to revitalize its use in the church. His words are a reminder of the Old Testament’s important role in Christian faith and practice.
