Math Talk

ABSTRACT: The calculus of variations has a long history as a method of solving problems in geometry, differential equations, and classical mechanics. Mathematically speaking, it is a method of optimizing a functional, a mapping from a set of functions to the real numbers. In
most cases, these functionals are definite integrals.

The main tool used in the calculus of variations is the Euler-LaGrange equation which takes on slightly different forms depending on the nature of the problem. Using this tool, I will present solutions to the following problems:
1) Finding the curve that is the shortest path between two points in a plane.
2) Finding the curve that minimizes the time for a bead to move from one point down to another in a plane without friction.
3) Determining the shape of a solid drop on a substrate.

Music: Phosphorescent
- (10:00 PM - 1:00 AM)  "The songs of Phosphorescent leader Matthew Houck are steeped in the type of cacophonous glory that just can’t be forced or premeditated. As ethereal organs and jangly guitars rise to peak accented by what we can only assume is the bashing of garbage cans, there’s something uniquely organic about the whole ordeal (the cans were just there, man)." - CMJ

Abstract:
Applied mathematics is a popular topic, and rightly so -- the ability to use mathematics to solve problems in different disciplines is one of its greatest strengths, and a cornerstone of the liberal arts ideal. Often, though, applications to separate subjects look vastly different. The purpose of this talk is to introduce a particular type of differential equation problem that has virtually identical applications to physics and economics. Passing knowledge of beginning calculus is the sole prerequisite.

Grand Opening — ASC Microelectronics Laboratory
- (10:00 AM - 11:30 AM)  The Electrical Engineering Technology Department at Alfred State College has recently opened a brand new class 10,000 cleanroom laboratory facility specifically designed for semiconductor manufacturing technology.

Through a recent NYSTAR (Science, Technology, and Academic Research) grant opportunity, Alfred State has been able to complete this new microelectronics laboratory facility at a fraction of the cost of comparable industrial equipment.

The laboratory has been equipped with Modu-Lab semiconductor device manufacturing equipment, which gives students realistic exposure to the semiconductor planer process. An important concept of this laboratory is hands-on training. Although it is unlikely that the students will work with this exact type of equipment in industry, the understanding of general processes gained through laboratory experiences will prepare them to either continue their education in the microelectronics field or work in a modern industrial laboratory. Oxidation, diffusion, photolithography, etch, and vapor deposition stations allow the student the opportunity to design, fabricate, and test their own simple integrated circuits while gaining experience in working in a cleanroom environment.
