Around half a century ago, the Polish-American mathematician Marek Kac posed a rather intriguing question: Can you determine the shape of a drum by listening to its sound? Surprisingly, it took a while before we could answered this question..
While my math class has been challenging, finding academic resources and learning about its interesting real-life applications in one of Dartmouth's ongoing research projects has been very helpful.
I can't believe nine weeks of classes have gone by! As I head into my last day of classes this Monday, I'd love to share a little bit more about what I've been learning this term.
