Opportunities & Internships
Internships
Internships help students explore possibilities, apply classroom learning, and gain experience. Explore 实习和学分选择.
The mathematics and computer science faculty members consider well-structured internships 对学生的教育至关重要. 各种各样的实习 completed under the supervision of this department is evidence of the flexible and creative applicability of degrees in both mathematics and computer science. Students 通过网站寻找实习机会 职业教育办事处，通过教师和工作人员，或自己.
A detailed description of the off-campus experience is published by the Career Education Office each year and fully describes the guidelines and timetable for internships. Students interested in arranging an internship in mathematics or computer science 应该联系他们的个人学术顾问吗.
The following are descriptions of some recent internships in mathematics and computer science:
- Two students participated in the University of Maryland's Research Internship in Science and Engineering. One of them designed a web-based tool for collecting data on pedestrian activity, while the other worked with an interdisciplinary group in meteorology.
- A mathematics and computer science double major worked at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab in the Combat Systems Evaluation Lab, programming a GUI window as part of an interface with a large tactical display system being developed for the U.S. 海军和联合部队.
- A 3-2 engineering major worked on improving current text-to-speech and speech recognition techniques using a rules-based approach as opposed to strict combinations of statistical 语料库分析. His duties included developing a model of the Human Vocal Production system and devising data structures for the learning and active phases of the model.
- A mathematics major and a mathematics and computer science double major worked with a Goucher College physicist to write software to test thermal calculations of high-temperature superconductors.
- A computer science major worked on the SPARTA (Simulation of Physics on A Real Time 建筑学)项目. 项目的目标 was to develop specialized hardware that would greatly accelerate physical modeling.
- A mathematics and computer science double major worked as a summer intern at the University of Utah, doing research in text classification, an area of artificial intelligence.
Student Clubs
数学和计算机科学俱乐部
Membership in the Mathematics and Computer Science Club is open to all program majors, 还有其他感兴趣的学生. 俱乐部为学生提供了机会 以非正式的方式分享他们的共同兴趣.
The most traditional of the club's activities is the annual Torrey Dinner, which is held each April to honor graduating mathematics and computer science majors. The officers 和顾问组织晚餐. 晚会的一个亮点是演讲，通常是关于 她/他的工作或研究，由校友/我们提供. 另一个令人兴奋的来源是 announcement of the winners of the Torrey, Ekin, Leavitt, and Writing prizes.
The fall semester traditionally starts with a program pizza party, at which majors share their summer internship, research, and international experiences with fellow 学生和教师. 进一步的俱乐部活动包括到巴尔的摩和 Washington, DC, museums; films; guest lecturers about mathematics or computer science; fundraising events; a year-end picnic; and more.
The first club meeting of each academic year is announced in mathematics and computer 科学课，还有电子邮件.
Pi Mu Epsilon
In 2005, Goucher College was awarded a chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon, the national Honorary 数学学会. 协会的使命是鼓励学术和 数学本科学生的学术活动. 学生，谁凭德行 of their academic promise and achievement are invited to join the society, meet on a monthly basis to support each other in their professional development. Activities include guest speakers, problem-solving sessions, book or film discussions, and practice 即将到来的数学演讲的会议. 分会举行入会仪式 春天托里家的晚宴上.
学术比赛
During the academic year, there are a number of opportunities for mathematics and computer science students to participate in academic competitions, as individuals and in teams.
Each fall semester, the Association for Computing Machinery sponsors a Mid-Atlantic region programming competition whose winners participate in national finals. Each participating college or university fields teams (possibly including graduate students), which strive to solve the most programming problems in the shortest time. Although the competition is quite challenging, Goucher teams have placed as high as fourth 在该地区的位置.
Goucher mathematics students also have the opportunity to compete as a team. The annual Mathematical Competition in Modeling takes place early in the second semester. Each three-person team chooses one of two open-ended applied mathematics problems and then researches and writes a solution paper over the course of a single weekend. Goucher teams have received numerous awards, competing against several hundred teams from 其他院校.
As a result of the problem of the month sponsored by our chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon, 我们每年可以派一名学生参加美国的云顶集团项目.S. 全国大学数学 Competition. 我们在这次比赛中表现得很好.
In addition, our mathematics students have participated as individuals numerous times in the annual Putnam Competition and the Virginia Tech Mathematics Contest.
