  • Congratulations to our Putnam Competition team. Last Fall a total of 4277 students from 578 colleges and universities in Canada and the USA participated in the annual William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition. There were teams from 407 institutions and our team ranked 25th. Our top scoring students were Cole Franks, Daniel Grier, Reid Harris, and Anna Kirkpatrick.
  • Dr. Alan M. Nathan will present on February 8, 2013 a talk on "The Physics of Baseball" in the Amoco Hall in USC's Swearingen Engineering center. After a long career studying high-speed collisions of subatomic particles, Alan Nathan now studies collisions between baseballs and bats. Whether you're a scientist, a baseball enthusiast, or just a sports fan, join us at 7:00pm as we explore the world of knuckleballs, pop flies, and home runs using the powers of mathematics and physics! The talk is free and open to the public. Photos from this event are available Here.

    This talk is sponsored by Carolina Science Outreach and the University of South Carolina's Athletics Department, Department of Mathematics, and Department of Physics & Astronomy.
