Nathaniel Stapleton in the Department of Mathematics recently received two grants for new tools in chromatic homotopy theory, a project funded by the National Science Foundation. The awards include an NSF standard grant and a grant from the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation. Read more here: http://bit.ly/2SNmKWX.
Testing
Welcome to the first Monday Memo of the 2019/2020 school year. I will be updating this area of my profile with announcement so that you're able to find information I send you easily!
Walk-In Hours
This week, August 26 - August 30, I will be seeing students as Walk - Ins. Please come to POT 202 to check in.
First Year Meetings
If you are new to UK, please set up a meeting during the month of September with me via your myUK page.
To make an appointment, please use these instructions:
The University of Kentucky is bigger than I understood before I sat wedged in with thousands of my fellow newly inducted freshman (or super junior in my case) and recognized this huge crowd was maybe a quarter of the undergraduate class on campus. I added the graduate and professional populations and that was when I began to consider UK its own "Learning Town" in the middle of Lexington.
At this point, halfway through what I imagine will be four undergraduate semesters on campus, there is a lot of work but I am engaged with the material and enthusiastic to progress. I intend to add some of the works I am creating for my classes here. I intend to build a student portfolio with this bog. I have some completed work I intend to post here, but I want to see what grade I get before I do. I suppose I might try to document my overall UK experience in posts like this as well. Or this might be the only post like this. Time will tell.
Axiomatic approaches to science and mathematics depend on an underlying set of statements, principles, or propositions that apply to all situations within the domain of study. The axioms run the gamut from undisputed universal laws to widely or even universally accepted but unproved or unprovable generalizations, to propositional stipulations adopted for analytical convenience or because they raise interesting questions.
Examples abound in mathematics and formal logic, and in science, engineering and technological applications of math and logic. Although it is only occasionally referred to as such, the laws of stratigraphy (details in any geology textbook) form an axiomatic approach to sedimentology, sedimentary geology, and related palaeoenvironmental studies. The laws of original horizontality, lateral continuity, superposition, and cross-cutting relationships are assumed in this approach to apply to all sedimentary deposits, and therefore form an axiomatic system for interpretation.
My name is Teresa Lazzari and I am currently in my junior year as a mathematical economics major here at the University of Kentucky, where I will graduate in May of 2017 and pursue a career as an actuary. I was born and raised in Florence, KY where I graduated from Boone County High School class of 2013. My parents, Jim and Mary Lazzari have four children, I being the youngest. My oldest brother, Blake is currently married to his high school sweetheart, Becky and are living in Dubai for a couple of years due to work. My other brother, Nick is currently in Indiana working on his PGA certification at a golf course. My sister, Gina is graduating this May from nursing school here at UK, where she will be working post-graduation. My sister and I live together down here in Lexington. I am an active member of Kappa Delta Sorority on campus, where I spend most of my time. Being in a sorority takes up a lot of my time outside of class, but I still manage to keep up personal hobbies such as running, drawing and playing with dogs.
We continue to move forward on our transition to the Office 365 mail system. Overall, the UK migration is 11% completed, while the college is still just starting out at 3%. All of the Hive mailboxes were migrated a few weeks ago with only minor disruptions on the morning when the transition was finalized. We will move on to the rest of A&S soon, migrating only a few departments at a time so that we have time to help address any problems that crop up with access on mobile devices or through Outlook.
Meet France Tracy!
I’m a sophomore in Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, and I’m from Fort Thomas, Kentucky, right next to Cincinnati. I love taking adventure runs through Lexington, and visiting the Lexington Humane Society regularly because I miss my pets at home!
I chose the University of Kentucky because of the strong sense of community I felt here. I was invited to Merit Weekend, a weekend where high school seniors can schedule their freshman classes early. I spent the weekend with some friends I had from the Governor’s Scholars Program the previous summer, and we had a blast together, meeting more potential students and running around Lexington!
I work as an Undergraduate Assistant for the Mathematics Department, which includes being a UA for a math lecture as well as a few hours in the MathSkeller, a tutoring service in the basement of Whitehall. I am currently in my second semester of working for the Mathematics Department. I really enjoy it and plan on working there during the rest of my undergrad at UK!
