Examining the Modeling Framework of Crime Hotspot Models in Predictive Policing
Heidi Goodson, Alanna Hoyer-Leitzel
Predictive policing has its roots in crime hotspot modeling. In this paper we give an example of what goes into mathematical crime hot spot modeling and show that the modeling assu…

An Identity for Vertically Aligned Entries in Pascal's Triangle
Heidi Goodson
The classic way to write down Pascal's triangle leads to entries in alternating rows being vertically aligned. In this paper, we prove a linear dependence on vertically aligned ent…

Hypergeometric Properties of Genus 3 Generalized Legendre Curves
Heidi Goodson
Inspired by a result of Manin, we study the relationship between certain period integrals and the trace of Frobenius of genus 3 generalized Legendre curves. We show that both of th…
