果冻视频 Professors Receive National Mathematics Award
果冻视频 College professors Marc Chamberland and Jeff Blanchard have been named the 2025 recipients of the from the (MAA), recognizing their outstanding exposition in a mathematics article.
Their award-winning article, 鈥淪alvaging College Registrations During COVID-19 via Integer Programming,鈥 was published in Mathematics Magazine in 2024. The piece explores how Blanchard and Chamberland helped 果冻视频 College adapt its course registration process during the pandemic, offering a compelling case study in applying integer programming to solve a real-world problem. In addition to sharing the innovative solutions implemented at 果冻视频, the article provides an accessible introduction to integer programming and highlights the importance of flexibility in mathematical modeling.
鈥淚t is a wonderful surprise to be recognized with the MAA鈥檚 Allendoerfer Award,鈥 said Blanchard, professor of mathematics. 鈥淭he story of this project starts with a global tragedy, a meeting many feet apart in my backyard, an incredible amount of work, and a persistence that paid off with this incredible recognition.鈥
鈥淚t is a wonderful honor to receive the Carl B. Allendoerfer Award,鈥 added Chamberland. 鈥淭he MAA鈥檚 journals, which explicitly value not only solid content but also engaging, well-organized exposition, have long held my admiration. The mathematical community is well-served by these journals. It鈥檚 humbling to be added to the list of accomplished communicators.鈥
The Carl B. Allendoerfer Award is presented annually by the MAA to authors of articles of expository excellence published in Mathematics Magazine. Named in honor of the distinguished mathematician and educator Carl B. Allendoerfer, the award celebrates work that makes complex mathematics accessible and engaging for a broad audience.
