They enjoyed superb weather during the conference dates of June 1{4, 2011. Unfortunately, those who chose to spend some extra time in Santa Barbara and stayed through June 5 experienced a rare day of rain. Coincidentally, the last time ACMS convened at Westmont (1993) there was another rare rain event. It might be helpful to California if ACMS could schedule yet another meeting at Westmont when the state is in the midst of its next drought! Among those attending, about ten were at their very first ACMS meeting. All participants enjoyed two presentations given by each of the the three invited speakers: Art Benjamin (Harvey Mudd College), Fred Brooks (University of North Carolina), and Glen Van Brummelen (Quest University). As the conference schedule indicates (page1), there were thirty-three contributed papers in parallel sessions dealing with a variety of topics in mathematics and computer science. Abstracts for the invited addresses and the contributed the papers can be found beginning on page4. Twenty of the contributed papers, which begin on page 15, are part of these Proceedings. There were also two panel discussions relating to the interaction between mathematics and computer science: within institutions, and within ACMS. A final panel session gave an an overview of a recently-completed ACMS book project: Mathematics Through the Eyes of Faith. This project involved eleven ACMS members and was published by HarperOne, San Francisco. Several informal activities complemented the scheduled sessions. On Thursday evening about fifty delegates enjoyed viewing the skies from Westmont's observatory, which houses the largest telescope between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Early on Friday morning twenty-one hikers make a trek up the foothills to Montecito Overlook.A picture of their venture can be found in the conference photos section, which begins on page 210. The traditional conference banquet took place on Friday evening. After Saturday morning parallel sessions dealing with faith integration issues the conference concluded with a worship service. We at Westmont considered it a privilege to host this event. We wish you every blessing in your respective vocations and look forward to seeing many of you again in 2013 at the nineteenth biennial ACMS conference. Bethel University (St. Paul, Minnesota) has agreed to be the host site. In 2015 the conference is planned to convene in Canada for the first time, hosted by Redeemer University College (Ancaster, Ontario).

  • The Search for Hamilton
    The Search for Hamilton Eric Gossett Bethel University, St. Paul, MN Eric Gossett earned his M.S., and Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Arizona while specializing in combinatorics. He has pioneered the use of Mathematica within the curriculum and published the textbook Discrete Mathematics with Proof, Second Edition. He developed Bethel's first generation of web services. He is an avid racquetball player and is the faculty sponsor of the Bethel Anime Club. 1. Introduction In July and August of 2009 my wife and I went on a four-week trip to Scotland and Ireland. We would be visiting Dublin, so I decided that we should visit the famous bridge where William Rowan Hamilton carved the equations for the quaternions. Hamilton had been struggling to find a good way to multiply and divide points in three dimen- sions but was making no progress. On October 16, 1843 he was walking with his wife along the Royal Canal in the outskirts of Dublin. He had a flash of insight which lead to the now-famous equations that defined the quaternions: i2 = j2 = k2 = ijk = −1: Hamilton was evidently so excited that he carved the equations in the stone of the Broom Street bridge which crossed the canal. (The carving has long since vanished, but a commemorative plaque was added in 1958. ACMS 18th Biennial Conference Proceedings, Westmont College, 2011 Page 66 I teach a course in Discrete Mathematics so my interest in Hamilton is actually related to the topic of Hamiltonian cycles in graphs. A Hamiltonion cycle is a walk in the graph that visits every vertex exactly once (except that it starts and ends with the same vertex).
