REU at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA Summer 2000
At Mount Holyoke College Suzanne worked in a group with the undergraduates Sarah Croog (Mt. Holyoke), Peter Kim (MIT), Lee Stemkoski (Boston University) and Cornelia Yuen (UC Berkeley), but her research was done independently. Her advisors were Dr. Alan Durfee and Dr. Donald O'Shea, both of Mount Holyoke College. Suzanne used methods of A'Campo to find local equations for polynomial knots.  A copy of her presentation is available upon request and will be available here soon.
