The Purdue Research in Mathematics Experience (PRiME) is a program intended to support and document various research projects by students in mathematics at Purdue. It also exposes students to new resources available to them, such as Rhea, and Sage.
Participants
Anyone affiliated with Purdue willing to document project in mathematics is welcome to participate in PRiME. If you want to be added to the official list of participants below, just add yourself. The emphasis of PRiME is to expose the excitement of doing mathematics.
- Matt Davis (Purdue 10' Alumnus)
- James Ryan (Undergraduate Student)
- Jamie Weigandt (Graduate Student)
Projects
Matt Davis and Jamie Weigandt will be examining the ABC conjecture over Number Fields, and using the data in Cremona's tables of elliptic curves to search for atypical ABC triples.
James Ryan will we working through William Stein's free online book Elementary Number Theory: Primes, Congruences, and Secrets
