Elon alumna Amanda Bienz '12, Assistant Professor of Mathematics Karen Yokley and Associate Professor of Mathematics Crista Arangala recently published the article "Magic Polygrams," which investigates arrays of numbers similar to magic squares.
The 2013 article appears in the Volume 6, No. 2 of Involve, a Journal of Mathematics, which highlights high-quality mathematical research involving students at all academic levels. Magic polygrams were the focus of Amanda’s undergraduate research project that led to her being awarded the Elon University Undergraduate Mathematical Research Award for 2011-12.
