Every summer, SAS hires interns from colleges across the US. Now, I've worked at other organizations, and I've worked with interns before. These guys are brilliant - the rising stars of industry. This year, one of the summer interns is Dylan Sweetwood. He'll be returning to Stanford in the fall, but for now one of the things that he is working on is a blog series called SAS Loves Math.
In his intro post, he says he'll be writing about SAS people who "specialize in many different kinds of math and use math in a variety of ways, both at work and at home." In his posts, he lets the SAS employees talk about what they do - from research and development to marketing and sales - their background in mathematics, how they use math in their jobs, who their favorite mathematicians are and why math is so irresistible.
If you haven't been following the series, now is the time to start. Recent interviews include:
By the way, Dylan is looking for nominations. Do you know someone at SAS who really loves math? Send Dylan an email (dylan.sweetwood@sas.com) with their name and he'll take it from there.
