General Information

  • Officers: This semester, the president is Christine McMeekin, the vice-president is Tyler Engel, and the treasurer is Jason Hartley.
  • Interested in joining? To be put on a mailing list to hear about upcoming events (or to be taken off the mailing list), send an email to uconnmathclub@gmail.com. We also have a group page on Facebook.
  • Interested in speaking? If you are not at UConn and know something in mathematics (a result, an idea or method, some history) which would also interest undergraduates, come tell us about it! Please write to uconnmathclub@gmail.com. Some funding can be provided. When you prepare your talk, please include some references to the literature so students may read further on your topic later.
  • Interested in a topic? If you are a UConn student who wants to hear a talk about some part of mathematics, especially one which may not be in a regularly offered course, let us know and hopefully we can find a suitable speaker to address your interests.
