Cutting Triangles, Nghia Nguyen, Jane Long
Undergraduate Research Conference
The idea of this project began with a question: Draw any triangle on a piece of paper, is it possible to fold the paper so that the triangle can be cut out in one slice?

Turrent Configurations And Particle Paths, Zihao Lawrence Jian
Undergraduate Research Conference
The research originated from the question of how many rows of soldiers or turrets could be placed and allow for all turrets to have a projectile path. We find the relationship between the safe radius for each turret/soldier and the number of rows for which each soldier will have a clear projectile path. As shown, we place turrets in a grid configuration in the Cartesian plane.

Communication Across Random Landings, Kerron Joseph, Jay Walbran
Undergraduate Research Conference
The idea to do this project began with a simple question: Suppose that people carrying communication radios parachute out of a plane, if each device has a certain range, what is the probability that once everyone lands they will be able to communicate. To study this problem I assumed that the spot where each individual lands is normally distributed.
We discuss the different ways the communication radios can work. In particular we examine the situation where all the radios have to be within a certain radius r to operate correctly and the situation where the radios work on a relay …
