Bernoulli Convolutions

This goup consisted of Julia Davis, Michelle Delcourt and Zebediah Engberg and was supervised by Neil Calkin, Jobby Jacob and Kevin James. They studied a combinatorial version of Bernoulli convolutions.

Discrete Bernoulli Convolutions: An algorithmic approach toward bound improvement


Computing the Lang-Trotter Constant

This group consisted of Jason Joyner, Lauren Huckaba and Joshua Schwartz and was supervised by Neil Calkin, Kevin James and Ethan Smith. They studied the Lang-Trotter conjecture and focused on computing the conjectured constant to high precision.

Hypercubes Cut by Hyperplanes

This group consisted of Rebecca Myers, Eric Reidl and Veronica Thomas and was supervised by Neil Calkin, Kevin James and Bo Light. They probabilities related to slicing the hypercube in n dimensions by an n-dimensional hyperplane.
