Simon Lowry
T. K. Pan Scholarship
This award was established in 1995 by Dorothy and Eugene Wong in memory of their father, T. K. Pan, OU Emeritus Faculty and Professor of Mathematics (1953-1975).
"I am studying a double-major in mathematics and astrophysics, and it has been very helpful in my physics courses to have a firm mathematical basis behind some of the topics covered in physics.
"I really enjoyed the "Physical Mathematics 1" course, which I took last semester, because it helped to explain the mathematics behind the differential equations I have seen this semester in my Physical Mechanics course.
"As I move forward in my career, having a math major will continue to be very useful as an aid in my astrophysics career, as well as being able to explain more advanced topics in mathematics which I have only worked with in very limited ways thus far, like graph theory. I look forward to the next two years of the math major."
