• The Sanford Society, the department's student club, visited the Alden Room in Milne Library on Monday, October 8. The Alden Room houses the College's collection of over 200 mathematics textbooks, dating from the 1780s to the 1920s. Heather Beach from Milne Library gave a general presentation and SUNY Oneonta student Carrie Jackson gave a presentation of the math textbook collection. Afterwards the participants had time to browse the collection. Department Chair Dr. Deborah Farro-Lynd, Dr. Keith Jones, Dr. Angeliki Kazas-Pontisakos, and Dr. Toke Knudsen attended the visit.

  Jessica Bartalsky

  SUNY Oneonta student Jessica Bartalsky presented a poster at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Boston, MA on January 6, 2012. The poster was on research that Jessica did with Christine Baxter in an independent study supervised by Dr. Toke Knudsen in Spring 2011 on the contributions of Dr. Vera Sanford (1891-1971) to teaching and research. Sanford, the author of five books and numerous articles, served at SUNY Oneonta from 1933 to 1959 and was instrumental in the development the College's Mathematics Department. The Joint Mathematics Meetings is the largest and most prestigious mathematics conference in the USA.
