Her presentation, “Derivative Sign Patterns for Infinitely Differentiable Functions in Three Dimensions,” focused on using relations between two-dimensional sign patterns in examining how such patterns occur in three dimensions. Professor Jeff Clark served as her research mentor.

The Walt and Susan Patterson Prize was established in 2006 to encourage undergraduates to participate in the annual meetings of the Southeastern Section of the Mathematical Association of America. The Patterson Prizes are awarded to outstanding undergraduate student presentation given at the meeting.
