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 willing to document mathematics research they've done at Purdue is welcome to participate in PRiME. If you want to be added to the official list of participants below, just add yourself.
- Matt Davis (Purdue 10' Alumnus)
- James Ryan (Undergraduate Student)
- Jamie Weigandt (Graduate Student)
PRiME Institute
The prime institute is a core group of participants who are actively working on research projects and contributing to Rhea during a given term. The Summer 2010 institute consists of Matt Davis, Jamie Weigandt, and James Ryan.
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
