Three faculty and eight students participated in the 2025 meeting of the Texas Section of the Mathematical Association of America, which took place March 28–29 at Prairie View A&M University. Garey Chair and Professor of MathematicsAlison Marrserved on the Executive Committee as the section’s chair-elect. Associate Professor of MathematicsJohn Rossalso served on the Executive Committee, in the role of Digital Media Editor. Ross also serves as a co-leader of Section NExT, a professional development program for early-career mathematicians. As part of his work for NExT, he led “Inquiry without Overhaul,” a session on introducing inquiry-based learning into mathematics classes in easy-to-digest pieces. Three students presented.Clay Elliott’26 presented “Linear Algebra Behind Satisfactory,” which featured work done in his Linear Algebra class with Lord Chair and Professor of MathematicsFumiko Futamura.Georgia Micknal’25 andAvery Weatherly’25 presented “Antimagic Polydominoes,” which featured research done with Marr. Assistant Professor of Instruction of MathematicsWill Tranalso attended, as did studentsCaytie Brown’27,Ashlyn Cadena’27,Camille James’26,Robert Karcher’27, andDash Puentes’27. All eight students competed in the Math Bowl as part of two different teams on Friday. Both teams finished in the top half of all teams competing.
