Richard V. Andree Memorial Scholarship
This fund was established in 1987, to honor the momory of Dr. Richard V. Andree, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics. Dr. Andree was an expert in abstract algebra and a pioneer in the application of computers in mathematics, as well as a former chairman of the Mathematics Department. Scholarships are given to outstanding students who plan a career in mathematics or computer-related mathematics, and whose record reflects exceptional achievement and potential as mathematicians. The scholarships vary in amount and are in support of tuition, fees and books.
"I am finishing my 6th year of my PhD in mathematics under the guidance of Dr. Krishnan Shankar. My research interests are Riemannian geometry, particular compact transformation groups, and non-negative curvature. I am also interested in mathematics education.
"After graduation, I would like to work at a small to medium-sized college as a professor.
"I am originally from Shiocton, Wisconsin and for fun I enjoy outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and fishing."

"I am a mathematics doctoral student with research specialization in mathematics education. My research encompasses theoretical work on mathematical intuition, affect, proof, and cognitive transformations of semiotic representations; along with the design of instructional activities that foster intuition in proof based courses.
"My hobbies include cooking, gardening, walking with my cat around the block, and riding BMX. My hometown is Edmond, Oklahoma."
