Comparing Geospatial Interpolation Methods for Modeling Snow Depths David Larson
This project focuses on geospatial interpolation, which is the predicting of unknown values at geographical locations using locations with known values. This project examined various geospatial interpolation methods and comparing them by evaluating how well they were able to predict snow depth. These methods include nearest neighbor, inverse distance weighting, and kriging.
Fantasy Football Projections with Data Analytics Caleb VanDerBeek
	In this talk, I will be discussing the accuracy of fantasy football projections, how they are made, and how to make them yourself. I will also discuss why it is so hard to create accurate predictions, especially without data. The intent of the project was to learn new ways to clean, summarize, and visualize data in relation to fantasy football.

March Madness! Picking Your NCAA Bracket with Linear Algebra

Dr. Aaron Wangberg
Winona State University

Abstract:  How do you pick your NCAA Bracket? Do you value home wins, early season games, and blowouts against Division II and III foes? Or is it better to base everything on the last five games of the season? Bring your computer to fill out your NCAA Bracket and hear the math that has helped WSU Linear Algebra students finish in the top 90% of ESPN's Bracket Challenge.
