Teaching the next generation of statistics students to "think with data": Special issue on statistics and the undergraduate curriculum
Ensuring that mathematics is relevant in a world of data science

Horton, Nicholas J. (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Amherst College)

The recent growth of data science has been remarkable. Analysts now have rich data and powerful computational tools to help answer important questions. Examples of ways that insights can be wrangled from this information abound in diverse areas. This has led some to dub computational thinking (or fluency) as the "new literacy" on par with writing and quantitative skills. A major unanswered question relates to the role of mathematics in the training of future data scientists. How can we be sure that data science is on a firm mathematical and statistical foundation? In the article, we will consider what courses in mathematics would best prepare future data scientists.

Exploring the sterically disfavored binding of acetylene to a geminal olefinic hydrogen-fluorine atom pair: The microwave spectrum and molecular structure of cis-1,2-difluoroethylene–acetylene

Leung, Helen O. (Department of Chemistry, Amherst College)

The microwave rotational spectrum of the gas-phase bimolecular heterodimer formed between cis-1,2-difluoroethylene and acetylene is obtained using Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy from 5.9 to 21.2 GHz. Rotational constants derived from the analysis of the spectra for the normal isotopologue and singly substituted ¹³C isotopologues, obtained in natural abundance, allow the determination of the structure of the complex, which, in the absence of a fluorine-hydrogen atom pair located cis to each other, adopts a sterically disfavored geometry (“side-binding”) in which the acetylene interacts with a geminal fluorine-hydrogen atom pair. Structural details are found to be similar to those of previously studied heterodimers with side-binding of acetylene to fluorine while reflecting the degree of halosubstitution. A detailed comparison with the (Z)-1-chloro-2-fluoroethylene-acetylene complex reveals information regarding the relaxed steric requirements for hydrogen bonding to chlorine as opposed to hydrogen bonding to fluorine.
