About 180 undergraduate math students will attend the 11th Annual Pikes Peak Undergraduate Mathematics Conference Feb. 15 on campus.
The annual conference is prepared by the UCCS Department of Mathematics and is expected to draw students from throughout the region including Wyoming and other neighboring states.
The daylong event in Dwire Hall and University Center meeting rooms will include student presentations, discussions about going beyond an undergraduate mathematics degree and a keynote presentation by Colorado College faculty member Stefan Erickson.
Erickson, assistant professor, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Colorado College, will present “Cryptography in the Computer Age: How to use Number Theory to take over the World.” His comments will connect the ancient art of cryptography to keep critical information private with the era of mobile devices and the desire to protect information.
For more information about the conference, contact Barbara Prinari, associate professor, Mathematics Department, 255-3522 or [email protected]
