Mathematics Department Receives
Big Grant
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $300,000 grant to Andrews University
and Walla Walla College to study the mathematics of
animal behavior. Shandelle M. Henson, Professor of Mathematics at Andrews, and
James L. Hayward, Professor of Biology at Andrews, together with Joseph G.
Galusha, Professor of Biology at Walla Walla,
and Jim M. Cushing, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Arizona,
are the co-principle investigators. The four scientists lead the Seabird
Ecology Team, an interdisciplinary group that uses mathematics to describe,
explain, and predict animal behavior. Undergraduate and master's students are
involved in every phase of the research.

"I was planning on majoring in mathematics when I came to Andrews but I
didn't expect what awaited me - I've had opportunities to teach, research, and
present at a professional conference. I've been surrounded by faculty who
genuinely care about me and my professional development. I couldn't
imagine going anywhere else."
