Summer 2006
- Summer 2006 Here is a link to a page with some overview on our activities.
The two projects for Summer 2006 were
Spectral gaps in groups and graphs, directed by Stratos Prassidis, and
Cayley graphs and coverings, directed by Terry Bisson.
Participating students were Clara Brasseur, Julia Lazenby, Taylor Coon, Allison Davis, Ryan Grady, Dominic Dotterrer, Samuel Cooper, and Joe Consiglio.
Summer 2005
Summer 2005 projects were Covers, Laplacians, and Growth on Graphs, directed by Stratos Prassidis, and
Characteristic polynomials and directed graphs, directed by Terry Bisson.
