Parity for Non-Integer Numbers

Aaron Lewis

This talk summarizes an exploratory analysis of the concept of parity for non-integer numbers. Using a generalization of parity derived from integers' interaction with exponents of negative numbers, a rational extension is derived. Using sets generated by different branches of the complex logarithm, and the resulting geometric structures in the complex plane, a definition for parity over the rationals is determined. An attempt is made at extending the definition further into the reals and complex numbers, and while a definition is found for some complex numbers, issues with irrational numbers prevent a full extension into the real and complex numbers

       Analysis Programming Consultant and Forecasting Methods

Carly Vandenhouten



This talk will give an overview of a summer internship as an analysis programming consultant to the pharmaceutical research industry. The tasks and deliverables required of the analysis programming team involved in a large-scale clinical trial will be discussed. Another part of this presentation will involve a separate consulting position with the Winona YMCA looking at past membership trends and basic forecasting methods to predict the future membership of the Winona location.
