2002
Junior mathematics major JOSEF TOBISKA of Santa Ana was the recipient of the institution's 2002 Freedman Prize for Mathematical Promise. 托维斯卡因其在组合学方面的贡献而获奖. His submitted work, 整数分区及其在量子物理中的应用, 是在他的教授和导师的帮助下完成的吗, Prof. Jennifer Quinn, who describes him as a student with a real knack for problem solving.
Specifically, Tobiska的研究集中在整数分区上, 其中整数可以分解成其他整数的和. 例如，3的整数分区为1+1+1、2+1和3. 这个简单的想法可以导致许多令人兴奋的数学问题，这些问题在物理学等领域具有深远的影响, computer science and economics. Specifically, 他们的工作使他们能够制定并证明一个关于分数量子霍尔效应的复合费米子模型的新定理.
托比斯卡在1月6日的一次比赛中获得了500美元的奖金. 30, 2003 ceremony in which he also gave a 45-minute presentation on his research. He was selected for the Freedman Prize by a committee of Occidental mathematics faculty. 获得荣誉提名的是来自布加勒斯特的大三学生丹尼尔·艾奥尼塔, Romania, and senior Radoslav Kirov of Sofia, Bulgaria.
2001
ROBERTO CARLOS PELAYO is the winner of the first annual Benedict Freedman Prize for Mathematical Promise.
Professor Emeritus Benedict Freedman awarded the prize to ROBERTO CARLOS PELAYO '02 on Thursday, November 15, 2001年在约翰逊学生中心的布兰卡天井. 颁奖后，鲍勃简要介绍了他的工作.
Bob was awarded the prize for his investigation of probabilistic problems arising in the area called "graph colorings.“其中一个问题可以非正式地描述如下:班上的每个学生都有两个特定的数字(每个学生可能是相同的，也可能不是相同的)，并被要求随机选择其中一个. 对于给定的座位安排和分配给学生的号码选择, there is a certain probability that neighboring students will choose the same number. Working with Professor Ramin Naimi, Bob开发了一些方法来寻找例外的例子, surprisingly, the probability can be larger than the case where all students are given the same two numbers.
即使只有10个或更少的学生, the number of cases to check an example can tax the capacity of currently available computers. 鲍勃对这个问题有了深刻的理解，并且能够选择实例，这使得他和他的导师能够为座位安排制定一个充分必要条件，在这个条件下，意外的例外情况不会发生.
Roberto Pelayo is a Los Angeles native and a graduate of Loyola High School where, among his many activities, he was President of the Math Club. 鲍勃1998年以40个大学先修学分进入十大正规网赌平台. Bob is now attending graduate school in Mathematics at Caltech with a 5 year James Irvine Fellowship.
