Themis Haris '21 was selected by the Computer Science faculty as this year's winner of the Francis L. Town Scientific Prize in Computer Science.
This prize was established by the bequest of Francis L. Town, a member of the class of 1856 from Lancaster, New Hampshire, and is offered annually to "one meritorious and deserving student in each department of scientific study at the College" as of the end of the sophomore year.
As winner of the Town Prize, Themis joins a small group...
[more]Dan Rockmore ponders how we generate new ideas in this article for The New Yorker.
[more]Where do ideas come from? That’s a big question. Here’s a smaller one: Where do mathematical ideas come from? I’ve wondered about this from the time I first contemplated being a mathematician until long after I officially became one.

[more]Petra Taylor (Thayer, PI), Lorie Loeb (Co-PI), Laura Ray (Thayer, Co-PI), and Scott Pauls (Math, Co-PI) were awarded a $2.8M NSF Accelerating Discovery Award for their project "Infusing Data Science into Undergraduate STEM Education." The goals of the award are to offer students data science education without having to major in data science. In addition, there is an experiential learning aspect of the award. Working with a new Post Doc, the Digital Applied Learning and Innovation (DALI) Lab...
[more]The Dartmouth College Department of Computer Science invites applications for three tenure-track faculty positions at the level of assistant or associate professor. We seek candidates who will be excellent researchers and teachers in any of the following three areas: (1) Machine Learning, (2) Algorithms, and (3) Computation for Physical Systems. (Examples of computation for physical systems include sensors, cyber-...
[more]Peter Winkler, the William Morrill Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, has been named the Second Distinguished Chair for the Public Dissemination of Mathematics at the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) in New York.
But you can just call him "puzzle master."
Winkler, who teaches combinatorics, probability, and the theory of computing at Dartmouth and holds a dozen patents in cryptography,...
