Magma is designed to provide efficient algorithms for the advanced aspects of number fields: number theory, algebra, combinatorics, and geometry.
The Magma team has been very successful in attracting number theorists, algebraic geometers, and others to their group, and the Magma package is far and away the best available package for many purposes.
Two of the students who were seniors used Magma in their thesis research one way or another in spring '02, and several other faculty have used the program in their mathematics.

 Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: Ask the Experts: Geology: What causes a volcano to erupt and how ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Although there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption, three predominate: the buoyancy of the magma, the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber.
If the density of the magma between the zone of its generation and the surface is less than that of the surrounding and overlying rocks, the magma reaches the surface and erupts.
As this magma moves toward the surface, the solubility of the water in the magma decreases, and so the excess water separates from the magma in the form of bubbles.

 Making Magma
Since volcanoes are places where magma is erupted onto the surface of the Earth, to understand them it is necessary to first understand magma.
Therefore in order to produce magma, all that is necessary is for a rock to rock to be slightly above its solidus temperature, where it will undergo partial melting.
In fact, the only plausible candidate for a heat source is magma itself, which is mobile and can in some cases carry heat upward and cause overlying rocks rocks to melt.

 Attracting and Retaining Mathematics Majors
In our liberal arts tradition, the requirement for the mathematics major is minimal: 33 semester hours of mathematics, consisting of 12 semester hours in calculus, and seven one-semester courses beyond calculus, these being: set theory and logic, linear algebra, modern algebra, advanced calculus, problem seminar, and two electives.
The change from undergraduate mathematics to graduate mathematics is, for many, a real shock, especially in the amount of information covered and the amount of information their classmates seem to possess.
The position of the department is that mathematical research as usually perceived by mathematicians is an activity complementary to undergraduate teaching.
