So, she decided to create an immersive experience in the Design Innovation Hub’s Blank_Lab. The chi...
My name is Cameron Gmitra and I recently graduated with a degree in actuarial mathematics with a minor in computer science. At KSU, I have enjoyed my time learning more about math and computer science. Kent State’s excellent math and computer science programs have challenged me to become a better critical thinker and given me the skills I need to succeed. Actuarial mathematics is a blend of math, finance and statistics as they relate to insurance, with the goal to become an actuary after graduation. Prospective actuaries must take a sequence of exams to become credential...

Did you know that not one, but two of our Department of Mathematical Sciences faculty members have solved intriguing problems in the famous Scottish Book, considered one of the highest achievements in the field of mathematics? In fact, one of them, Per Enflo, Ph.D., Emeritus University Professor of Mathematics, even received the prize of a live goose in 1972 from the famous Polish mathematician, Stanislaw Mazur, who initially proposed the problem in 1936! Now, fifty years later, Dmitry Ryabogin, Ph.D., professor of mathematics, submitted his sole-authored publication "A negative answ...
