Mathematics Major Eliza Brown Presents at the Joint Mathematics Meeting in Seattle

Back in early January, Mathematics Major and Senior, Eliza Brown presented at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Seattle, WA as part of the Pi Mu Epsilon Contributed Sessions on Research by Undergraduates. According to their website, "These sessions feature research done by undergraduate students. First-year graduate students are eligible to present if their research was completed while they were still undergraduates. Research by high school students can be accepted if the research was conducted under the supervision of a faculty member at a post-secondary institution.

Appropriate content for a poster includes, but is not limited to, a new result, a new proof of a known result, a new mathematical model, an innovative solution to a Putnam problem, or a method of solution to an applied problem. Purely expository material is not appropriate for this session." (PME Annual Conference 2025 | Pi Mu Epsilon)

Eliza's presentation featured research she completed with Dr. Gabriel Dorfsman-Hopkins: "Exploring Mandelbrot Escape Velocity", where she created 3D prints depicting how quickly points pass outside the Mandlebrot set move towards infinity.
