Students work with faculty on a range of research and development projects. Much activity takes place in the summer, when Grinnell College provides fine support to students (stipend, credits). Other work takes place during the regular semester. Although not complete, the following listing illustrates many of the projects involving student-faculty collaborations.

MAX (1982-1990)
At different times, students contributed to the development of a matrix computation package that was published in 1988 by Brooks/Cole as MAX -- the MAtriX Algebra Calculator. Professor Gene Herman is the principal author of the package and directed the students' contributions. Professor Herman and Professor Charles Jepsen wrote the text of the book.
The Core System (1979-1981)
Several students worked with Professor Gene Herman to create
device-independent graphics subroutines in FORTRAN and Pascal, implementing
a 1978 proposal (Bergeron, R. Daniel; Bono, Peter R.; and Foley, James D.,
Graphics programming using the Core system
, ACM computing
surveys 10 [December, 1978], pp. 389-443) for a graphics
standard.
You Solved It! (1979-1981)
Under the direction of Professor Gene Herman, several students developed a collection of computer-aided instruction programs providing drill and practice in precalculus mathematics.
