Operation Comics: Making Math Fun, Bruce Kessler
Operation Comics: Making Math Fun, Bruce Kessler
Bruce Kessler
This talk gives a background on the Operation Comics series, which integrates mathematics into a comic book storyline, as an example of how creativity is not exclusive to the traditional arts, like music and dance, but is a vital part of math, science, and engineering.
Operation Comics: The Story Continues, Bruce Kessler, Tressa Tullis
Operation Comics: The Story Continues, Bruce Kessler, Tressa Tullis
Bruce Kessler
This talk was given, with Tressa Tullis as the main presenter and Bruce Kessler as a minor co-presenter, at the 2011 Bridges Conference in Coimbre, Portugal, on the current developments on our Operation Comics project with Cumberland Trace Elementary.

Empirical Methods-A Review: With An Introduction To Data Mining And Machine Learning, Matt Bogard
Empirical Methods-A Review: With An Introduction To Data Mining And Machine Learning, Matt Bogard
Economics Faculty Publications
This presentation was part of a staff workshop focused on empirical methods and applied research. This includes a basic overview of regression with matrix algebra, maximum likelihood, inference, and model assumptions. Distinctions are made between paradigms related to classical statistical methods and algorithmic approaches. The presentation concludes with a brief discussion of generalization error, data partitioning, decision trees, and neural networks.
“Drawing” Upon Your Students’ Creativity: Teaching (Your Subject Here) With Comic Books, Bruce Kessler
“Drawing” Upon Your Students’ Creativity: Teaching (Your Subject Here) With Comic Books, Bruce Kessler
Mathematics Faculty Publications
During Spring 2009, Dr. Kessler created and published a comic book series that embedded math content into the story for 4th-6th grade students. The comics were well received in the classrooms at Cumberland Trace Elementary. Dr. Kessler contends that this approach to teaching and learning can be used in any content area, and is useful for engaging students who might not be as interested otherwise. This session will explore ways of utilizing the skills of your students to construct learning comics in your classes, regardless of the funds, technology, and artistic experience at your disposal. The session will include a …

Wavelet-Based Analysis Of Neutron-Induced Photon Spectral Data, Bruce Kessler, Alexander Barzilov, Phillip Womble
Wavelet-Based Analysis Of Neutron-Induced Photon Spectral Data, Bruce Kessler, Alexander Barzilov, Phillip Womble
Bruce Kessler
Neutron-based methods of non-destructive inter- rogation of objects for the purpose of their characterization are well-established techniques, employed in the field of bulk material analysis, contraband detection, unexploded ordnance, etc. The characteristic gamma rays produced in nuclear reactions initiated by neutrons in the volume of the irradiated object (inelastic neutron scattering, thermal neutron capture, and activation) are used for the elemental identification. In many real-world applications, an automated spectral analysis is needed, and many algorithms are used for that purpose. The Applied Physics Institute at Western Kentucky University has recently started to employ a mathematical spectrum analysis technique based on …
A “Peak” At The Algorithm Behind “Peaklet Analysis” Software, Bruce Kessler
A “Peak” At The Algorithm Behind “Peaklet Analysis” Software, Bruce Kessler
Mathematics Faculty Publications
In response to a problem posed by faculty at the Applied Physics Institute at Western Kentucky University, the speaker has developed an algorithm for providing an automated analysis of spectrum data for the purpose of determining the elemental composition of the item generating the data. A full, non-provisional patent application has been filed on the idea, and a full marketing campaign has started to license software implementing the algorithm. This presentation will give a brief explanation of the mathematics in use in the algorithm, and will give some examples of the software in action.

A Primer On Chaos And Fractals, Bruce Kessler
A Primer On Chaos And Fractals, Bruce Kessler
Mathematics Faculty Publications
This is a prelude to a performance of the play "Arcadia" exclusively for the science and math majors of Lipscomb University. One of the main characters of the story is a mathematical genius, and has realized the power and limitations of iterations in generating mathematical models and structures, although she is living in the early 1800's. This talk gives an introduction to the ideas of chaos theory, fractals, and randomness.
