| Title of Talk | What I did on my sabbatical: Experiencing the "real world" |
| Abstract | In an effort to gain some "real world" experience with mathematics and statistics during my sabbatical this year, I have been working at a local windows manufacturer doing a number of things that involve mathematical and statistical thinking. This talk will describe some of the things I have been doing, as well as some of the things I have learned through the experience. I will also discuss how I went about setting-up this experience, how I think my employer perceives my experiences, and how I expect this to be something that lasts beyond this year. |
