This group of undergraduate research students (Shaye Fordring, Seb Pardo, and Elenor Rushall, together with Casey Malone) has been a blast to work with! We’ve been studying pattern avoidance in signed Cayley permutations using combinatorial species (blah, blah, blah… fancy-sounding mathematics). The pics are from this year’s Southwestern Undergraduate Mathematics Research Conference (SUnMaRC), which NAU hosted this year, and the NAU Undergraduate Symposium.
