Math students succeed during Putnam Competition
(April 30, 2010)
"If not the most difficult mathematical contest a university student can face, the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is certainly a formidable challenge. The venerable competition, which began in 1938, pits thousands of college and university math students against each other each December. To earn a point or two is noteworthy. To score 10 points or more is reason to celebrate." [Read article]

River network study links mathematics, statistics and science (November 30, 2009)
"On the face of it, the connection between the work of a mathematics and statistics professor and the world of river ecology would seem tenuous at best.
And yet, according to Ilia Zaliapin, an associate professor of mathematics and statistics at the University of Nevada, Reno, there are more connections than meet the eye." [Read article]
Nuclear Energy Research (June 9, 2009)
"University of Nevada, Reno mathematics researcher and faculty member Pavel Solin can help make a nuclear reactor run more efficiently, and he will be using scientific computing to prove it as part of a national effort to develop the next generation of nuclear technologies." [Read article]
Knot Theory (September 20, 2007)
" Suppose someone hands you a loop of string with a big tangle in it. There is probably no mathematical way known for you to determine whether it can be untangled without cutting it." [Read article]
