I am submitting my paper, "Basins of Roots and
Periodicity in Newton's Method for Cubic Polynomials,"
for your consideration to be published.
I began work on this project in June of 1999 and
completed it in May of 2000. I have been an
undergraduate throughout this time.
I am a math major and music minor in the Class of 2000
at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina. I
began the project in the summer of 1999 at the Summer
Undergraduate Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
My advisor at CMU was Dr. Tim Flaherty and I worked
with two other students, Zalenda Cyrille and Kari
Whitcomb. I continued the project for my senior
honors thesis at Davidson with Dr. Richard Neidinger
as my advisor. I will be attending the graduate
program in Physics at West Virginia University in the
Fall of 2000 in order to prepare for eventual graduate
study in Astronomy. My hobbies include playing the
cello and swimming.
My reference for the paper is my honors advisor, Dr.
Richard Neidinger.
Thanks,
Amy Smith
