Hanying Dong is interested in the factors that contribute to the growth of children. He uses generating functions to count the number of ways in which children can grow from ages 3 to 13. This research was conducted during Fall 2014 in Professor Hanusa's Combinatorics class at Queens College of the City University of New York.

Yidi Yao takes inspiration from a walk in Manhattan; she counts the number of walking paths from one corner of a city to the other that do not pass through a park along the way. This research was conducted during Fall 2014 in Professor Hanusa's Combinatorics class at Queens College of the City University of New York.

InSu Chang is interested in the game Go, which has simple rules but is both mentally challenging and mathematically complex. He answers a question about the end game possibilities when playing Go on a 5x5 board. This research was conducted during Fall 2014 in Professor Hanusa's Combinatorics class at Queens College of the City University of New York.

Synthia Viaud noticed the patterns involved in the tiles on the hallway floor, and asks about the number of ways in which a person can walk around a closed square hallway respecting certain rules about walking on hallway tiles. This research was conducted during Fall 2014 in Professor Hanusa's Combinatorics class at Queens College of the City University of New York.

Elisse Ferraro investigates the structure of stable marriages by using the Gale-Shapely algorithm. This research was conducted during Fall 2014 in Professor Hanusa's Combinatorics class at Queens College of the City University of New York.
