Report of the Division of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics.In the Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics (M|CS|S) Division of the MAS on Thursday and Friday there were 9 talks and 2 poster presentations given. The subject of the talks were in the areas of graph theory graph theory Mathematical theory of networks. A graph consists of vertices (also called points or nodes) and edges (lines) connecting certain pairs of vertices. An edge that connects a node to itself is called a loop. , mathematical interpolation interpolation In mathematics, estimation of a value between two known data points. A simple example is calculating the mean (see mean, median, and mode) of two population counts made 10 years apart to estimate the population in the fifth year. formulas, estimating data errors in geographic information systems, how to rank computer performance, how to compare of databases of genetic information, how to write programs to make databases from computer surveys, and image feature recognition in remote sensing Deriving digital models of an area on the earth. Using special cameras from airplanes or satellites, either the sun's reflections or the earth's temperature is turned into digital maps of the area. . Poster presentations considered ways to test robotic performance and understand how to design algorithms for graph coloring graph coloring - graph colouring . On Friday morning, the special sub session on supercomputing was well attended by the heads of computing of many of the State Universities. At the end of the main sessions, on Friday four cash awards ($50 and $25) in the student and professional categories and four certificate awards were presented. The winners were 1) 1st place professional division: Dr. Joseph Kolibal, for his talk on "Algebraic 1. (language) ALGEBRAIC - An early system on MIT's Whirlwind. [CACM 2(5):16 (May 1959)]. 2. (theory) algebraic - In domain theory, a complete partial order is algebraic if every element is the least upper bound of some chain of compact elements. Properties of Sum One Matrices" and 2) 2nd place professional division: Mr. Olexandr Isayev and Mr. Taner Pirim, for their talk, "Carr-parinello Molecular Dynamics Molecular dynamics (MD) is a form of computer simulation wherein atoms and molecules are allowed to interact for a period of time under known laws of physics, giving a view of the motion of the atoms. Benchmark Performance", 3) 1st place student division: Tisha Brown for the poster presentation, "Robotic Formation: Correcting Boe-bot's Error by Trial Installation", and 4) 2nd place student division: John D. Stepney for his talk: "Mathematics, Computer and Information Sciences Alumni Survey Online From". This year, as it did in 1995,1996, 1997, and 2005 paper and poster presenters were invited to submit expanded versions of their talks to be published in a divisional proceedings.
