- A new resource by Professor of Mathematics Glenn Ledder allows students and the general public to conduct their own experiments to learn about the population dynamics of COVID-19. Ledder has developed a mathematical module to help people study these dynamics and make their own conclusions based on real-world scenarios. The model embeds a simple model designed specifically for the COVID-19 pandemic into an environment where students can easily design experiments and observe possible outcomes. The model can be a source for teachers who are struggling to find relevant course material during this time that helps their students learn about this defining moment in history.
- On January 24, 2021, the 23rd annual Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics welcomed plenary speakers Dr. Cecilia Aragon, Dr. Ruth Haas and Dr. Talitha Washington to the first-ever online conference. See the home page for the plenary speakers' recorded videos.
- On December 3, 2020, the 31st annual Math Day welcomed 41 schools and more than 400 students online for a day of fast-paced mathematics. Math Day 2.0 was a team competition in the form of a Swiss-system bowl tournament where teams were given four to five rounds of play.
