Milton--The Math Lab Fish

Officially christened Milton F. Diesel, Milton came to the Math Lab in Fall 2006.  He was named at our open house.  See below for the official results of the naming contest.

Milton is available to help you with assignments as well; unfortunately, if you can't speak betta, he can't help you very much...  What he CAN do is offer moral support.  He can also give you good vibes for your exams.  Since he lives in a fairly "mathy" area, he tends to know what's going on in most classes on campus!

Milton does have a Problem of the Week.  Feel free to submit an answer in the Math Lab.

Why the fish?

A number of reasons, really.  If you come to Sonderegger 408, you'll notice that our wall is actually made of windows.  If you think about it, we are in a giant aquarium, with the rest of campus to watch us work.

Also--we wanted a mascot, and Milton the betta was pretty cool...and easy to care for.

The Contest

Anyone coming to Sonderegger 408 was able to submit a name for the "Name the Fish" contest.  Voting occurred at our open house on November 8.  Counting took place at 1:35pm; results are available upon request.
