Third Voices Conference On Teaching Stem With Music, September 22-23, 2019, Lawrence M. Lesser
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
The third annual VOICES (Virtual Ongoing Interdisciplinary Collaborations on Educating with Song; https://www.causeweb.org/voices/) conference will be held online September 22-23, 2019. Chaired by Tiffany Getty, this conference will explore the use of song to teach STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) at the postsecondary (or secondary) level.

Differential Equations Of Love And Love Of Differential Equations, Isaac Elishakoff
Differential Equations Of Love And Love Of Differential Equations, Isaac Elishakoff
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
In this paper, simple ordinary differential equations are discussed against the background of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In addition, a version of this relationship in a somewhat opposite setting is considered. It is proposed that engineering mathematics courses include this topic in order to promote additional interest in differential equations. In the final section it is shown that vibration of a single-degree-of-freedom mechanical system can be cast as a love-hate relationship between its displacement and velocity, and dynamic instability identified as a transition from trigonometric love to hyperbolic.
Using Hidden Markov Modeling For Biogeographical Ancestry Analysis, Melvin R. Currie
Using Hidden Markov Modeling For Biogeographical Ancestry Analysis, Melvin R. Currie
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
This paper describes a methodology for analyzing X-chromosome data to establish biogeographical contributions to the author’s X chromosome. We present an exposition of how Hidden Markov Modeling (HMM) can be used as a black box for ancestry analysis and focus on a set of conditions that are not universal but fairly common. The first condition is that the ancestral populations are drawn from regions that have had very little or no contact with each other since prehistoric times. The second condition is that the number of possible ancestral populations is small. In this analysis, we assume that the ancestral populations …
