With 1.1 seconds remaining in regulation, Harvard trailed B.U., 65-63, and Janowski stepped to the line with a one-and-one opportunity. The senior, who was 1-for-5 until that point in the game, hit both shots to knot the score and send the game into overtime...
Anne-Marie Oreskovich '99 spoke about her research in knot theory and the Unique Prime Decomposition of Knots Theorem, which states, "No matter how ugly a knot is, provided that it's tame, [it] can be decomposed into a product of prime knots...
Oreskovich, who is writing a senior thesis based on her research, also works on tiling research with a professor at MIT. She said she chose to write about knot theory because of its many practical applications...
...People are usually surprised to find out that there is an entire mathematical theory devoted to studying a commonplace object such as a knot," she said. "It was tough choice for me choosing whether to write about tilings or knots, but the Harvard math department has great mathematicians doing exciting knot theory research...
McMullen says his work in complex dynamics has lately turned his research in the direction of knot theory--an area that at first seemed unrelated to fractals and chaos...
