As many of you may know, George Poole, after 13 years of outstanding service to the department, decided to return to full-time teaching this year. As the new Interim Chair for the department, I have had a lot to learn this semester! Although I have been at ETSU since January 1995, there is much about the university and about how things work that I did not know! Fortunately, George has given me much good advice and counsel. I also appreciate the support of the other faculty members who have given their time and effort to make things work as smoothly as they have so far.

Probably the most exciting news we have concerns the new "Internet-Based Classroom" which is now installed in Gilbreath 205. Last spring we received the news that NSF had funded our grant to establish the classroom, which will hold 24 computers networked to a server. This room is being used for computer-based instruction and demonstration and will also allow access from remote environments so that students can get real time help with their questions. Jeff Knisley and Don Hong provided the leadership for developing this classroom. Come by to see it if you are in the area.

This fall we participated in the Alumni Return to the Classroom for the first time. Lyndell Kerley invited Tammy Gillenwater Hubbard, our outstanding mathematics major of 1985, to come and spend the day sharing with students and faculty what she has been doing for the last few years. Tammy works for Lockheed Martin Energy Systems at Oak Ridge as a Computing Specialist. She spoke to us about "A Software Engineering Career Starting with a Foundation from ETSU." It was a very enjoyable experience and all of us learned something about how math majors use their training while working in industry. If you or someone you know would be interested in participating in this program sometime, please let us know!

In other news, Jay Boland is developing an Honors Program for mathematics students. We hope that this will encourage excellent students to apply for our program as they will be given financial support when they are accepted.

Last spring we hosted an External Review Team, which spent several days looking at our undergraduate and graduate programs. Their report was very complimentary, in general, and most of their recommendations were things that we had heard before and over which we have no control – for example, we need a second part-time secretary and the graduate students need more space, etc. For the third time, the review team recommended that the university make MATH 1080: Probability and Statistics a prerequisite for other statistics classes on campus. We are once again pushing this idea and asking the Administration to recognize that the other courses should not just be duplicates of this course! Wish us luck!

I did follow the Review Team’s recommendation to broaden the governance structure in the department and established several standing committees this fall, one to look at the department’s vision and goals, one to adjust workloads for faculty, one to set up priorities for travel funds, and one to look at curriculum issues. The Vision and Goals Committee has produced a Vision Statement which has been forwarded to the Administration and it is currently working on the list of short-range and long-range goals. The Workload Committee has drafted a set of equivalencies to help faculty in constructing their yearly plans. I believe that it will help all of us to realize that what each of us does in the department is important and that all of us have full assignments. The Travel Committee has taken a good look at available travel monies and has suggested a list of priorities which the Chair will adhere to in making hard decisions about who will be able to travel in these times when funds are cut.

There are actually two curriculum committees currently working – one for mathematics and one for statistics. The statistics group is developing a new minor in statistics which we hope will attract students from a variety of fields – from sociology to accounting to biology. They have also developed a new experimental lab course which will be offered in conjunction with MATH 1080 to computer science students this summer. The work for this course will take place in the computer lab and will introduce the students to statistics software such as SAS, Minitab, etc. They have other "irons in the fire" which you will be hearing about later.

The mathematics curriculum committee is looking at revising and updating our major tracks now that we have had them in place for several years. They are also working on improving contacts with our client disciplines and making sure that courses required for other major programs are satisfying the needs of their students.

In addition to the above, we also have a search committee working at selecting a new permanent chair for the department, and a second search committee seeking an individual to fill the tenure track position which we were unable to fill last year. A third search committee is seeking someone to fill a new tenure track position in Kingsport/Bristol.

As you can see, the mathematics faculty are working hard in a variety of areas and building a reputation for excellence in teaching, research, and service. Several of us have had major papers published in the last year and have made presentations and organized sections at professional meetings. A few of us teach large sections of introductory courses, with built-in support systems for students, so that others can have more time for research. Our reputation for good teaching is well known on campus – especially with regard to the MATH 1080 where we now have about 1300 students enrolled each semester and which is masterfully coordinated by Tod Jablonski. I don’t know of any other department which has been as successful in ensuring that the content and quality of a course is consistent across a multitude of sections.

Do let us hear from you! We hope that things are going well and that you will come by to visit with us when you are in East Tennessee.

Four of our undergraduate students have been participating in undergraduate research projects-

Susan Hosler, Ken Proffitt, Jason Osborne, and Scott LaVoie.

These students were advised by Drs. Edith Seir, Jeff Knisley, and Bob Gardner.

Susan Hosler conducted a time series analysis of data related to the state of Tennessee under the guidance of faculty advisor, Dr. Edith Seir, during the summer of 1999 as a part of the Ronald McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program. A description of her project is now described.

A univariate time series consists of a sequence of observations to a single variable over time. The purpose of this applied research was to identify and fit the most appropriate models to represent the behavior of demographic and economic variables in the state of Tennessee. The models were used to quantify the historical changes and to forecast future values. The demographic variables considered were population counts, number of occupied housing units, and percentages of crowded and severely crowded housing units as indicators of poverty. Non-linear models were used for the demographic variables and models of the same nature were fitted to the data corresponding to the whole country in order to make comparisons. The economic variables considered were monthly unemployment rates and average hourly earnings of Tennessee workers in the durable and nondurable goods sectors. ARIMA-type models were fitted to the economic series and the existence of cycles and seasonal behavior was analyzed using periodograms based on the fast Fourier transform.

During the 98-99 academic year, Jason Osborne pursued undergraduate research in Lie Algebras and Lie Groups under the direction of Dr. Jeff Knisley. This effort resulted in a paper entitled "A Lie algebra of Integrals of Keplerian Motion Restricted to the Plane," as well as a presentation on the same topic at the Southeastern Section of the MAA’s annual meeting held in Memphis, Tennessee, in March of 1999. Jason went on to pursue an NSF-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates at Northern Arizona University during the summer of 1999.

Sponsored by support from the Ronald McNair Program, Ken Proffitt investigated alternative methods for finding solutions to Pell’s equation. This undergraduate research, under the direction of Dr. Jeff Knisley, resulted in a presentation at the Southeastern Section of the MAA’s annual meeting held in Memphis, Tennessee, in March of 1999. In addition, Ken presented his work at the MAA Mathfest in Toronto, Canada, in the summer of 1998 and placed third in the Southeast for a presentation of his work at a conference for Ronald McNair participants.

Ken Proffitt completed a second project of "Decomposing, Packing and Covering the Complete Graph with Osculating 4-Cycles" with funding provided by the Ronald McNair Program. The research was conducted under the direction of Dr. Robert Gardner.

Scott LaVoie is studying "A 4-Cycle Covering of the Complete Graph with a Hole" under an ETSU Honors Program grant. Dr. Robert Gardner is directing the research.

Mrs. Tammy Hubbard participated in the Alumni Return to the Classroom program during the fall semester. She received the Outstanding Mathematics Award in 1985 and worked at Beecham Labs in Bristol, Tenn., in a statistical capacity before joining the staff at Lockheed Martin Energy Systems. She spoke to our undergraduate mathematics majors and our mathematics faculty. The title of her presentation was "A Software Engineering Career Starting with a Foundation from ETSU."

Dr. Jeff Knisley, Director

The mathematics department added a new, state-of-the-art computer laboratory at the beginning of the spring semester 2000. The lab is configured as a classroom and is located in room 205 of Gilbreath Hall. It is carpeted and contains a white board for teaching. The lab contains 25 Dell Optiplex GX1 computers with Pentium III processors running at 500 mhz. Each computer has 128 MB RAM, a 9 Gb hard drive, a 100 MB zip drive, and a 21" flat-screen monitor. In addition, the computer-based classroom is to have its own Internet server and two high-volume printers.

Currently, three math courses and two computer science courses are using the lab. The students have access to

Maple, PC-Matlab, and Sigma-Plot for Windows. If you visit the campus, be sure to visit this state-of-the-art facility.

In January of 2000, three math students - Rachel DeHart, Jason Osborne, and B. J. Smith presented posters at an undergraduate research session of the joint meetings of the American Mathematics Society (AMS) and the Mathematics Association of America (MAA) in Washington, D. C. Each was presenting research that they had conducted during the fall of 1999. Rachel’s poster used continued fractions as a nonstandard method for perturbing Kepler’s problem. Jason’s poster described his efforts in using geometric quantization to map a Lie algebra of classical integrals to a Lie algebra of quantum observables. B. J.’s poster detailed his investigation of rocket-powered flight in an inverse square field.

Dr. Debra Knisley- Graduate coordinator
