Armstrong Math
Spring Problem Session


Organizer/Editor: Dr. J. Brawner
office: UH293
phone: 344-3186
Introduction
  • History: The group of AASU mathematics faculty and students known as the Armstrong Problem Solvers was formed in the Spring of 2005 out of a desire to continue through the spring semester many of the problem solving opportunities afforded by the Putnam seminar each fall. After a lively debate over what to call themselves, the Armstrong Problem Solvers burst onto the scene by successfully solving all fourteen of the problems posed in the Fall 2004 issue of the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal. Two of those solutions were published in the Fall 2005 issue of that journal, with acknowledgments for the other twelve.

    Activity: Each spring thereafter, the Armstrong Problem Solvers have met weekly to work on journal problems. As of the group has had a total of solutions published or to appear, and another solutions acknowledged, in the following journals:
    the American Mathematical Monthly, Mathematics Magazine,
    College Mathematics Journal, Math Horizons,
    and the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal.
    - Dr. James Brawner
  • Activities: Spring 2010, Spring 2009
  • If you are interested in joining the group, please send a solution or an idea for the current problems (the link will be available soon) to Dr. Brawner or the webmaster in the form of a pdf-file or a scanned image of hand-written solutions. The due dates are boxed in the document.

  • Student/Faculty Involvement: Problem solving lies at the heart of undergraduate mathematics, and the faculty strongly encourage students to participate in this weekly seminar. Our seminar is a great vehicle to exposure, maturity, and creativity in undergraduate mathematics, and it creates a unique space where students and faculty can casually engage in a scholarly activity. If you are a faculty member who likes to do math, this will be a great daily mathematical yoga!
       Beginning Spring 2010, we use this website to accommodate more students and faculty who are interested but can't physically be present. We shall post here via a secured link the list of problems, photographs of all board work during the seminar, and solutions. Please, email Dr Brawner with cc to the webmater.
