The fourth SemiAnnual Math Honors-in-Discipline Day (SAMHIDD 4) was held on December 11, 2009 in Room 304 of Gilbreath Hall. Six presentations were given by students who registered for honors enhanced classes during fall 2009. Some general comments and descriptions of the Math Honors-in-Discipline program requirements were given by Dr. Bob.

The schedule of presentations was a slight modification of the following:

TIME	SPEAKER	TOPIC
1:00	Seasonal Refreshments	Egg nog, cider, Christmas cookies
1:10	Dr. Bob	Math H-i-D Program, Requirements, and Updates (see below)
1:20	William Jamieson	Vizing's Conjecture (Honors Math Reasoning)
1:40	Paul Hoilman	Combinatorics and Poker (Honors Applied Combinatorics and Problem Solving)
2:00	Victoria Moon	Application of Group Theory in Theoretical Computer Science I (Honors Introduction to Modern Algebra)
2:20	Laura Catron	Application of Group Theory in Theoretical Computer Science II (Honors Introduction to Modern Algebra)
2:40	Brandi Canter	The History of Linear Algebra (Honors Linear Algebra)
3:00	Jessie Deering	Applications of Integrals and The Work of Archimedes (Honors Calculus 2)

New Policy Affecting the Creation of Honors Sections There is a new policy of charging students for drop and add (unless you drop one class and add another within 24 hours) starting the first day of classes. Therefore you should get any honors section (with section number 088) created as soon as possible to avoid these charges, since there is no charge for dropping and adding before the semester starts. This means that we will likely have to do much of the paperwork for the creation of an honors section through e-mail before the semester starts. All parties concerned can sign the forms once the semester starts.
