Most of the presentation should be understandable to math students with exposure to linear algebra and modular arithmetic, and will include some suggested paths they may want to pursue in their own research as well.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Ghassan Sarkis is an Associate Professor of Mathematics &amp; Statistics at Pomona College to his great surprise.
