Seal    UConn Math Club
Fall 2007
   Seal


Welcome! All students interested in mathematics are invited to attend the club's events. Usually the club listens to talks aimed at its members. Talks generally will not require a background beyond calculus and a little linear algebra. Free refreshments will be provided. Unless otherwise indicated, talks are in MSB 319.

Schedule of math club talks from previous semesters: Spring 2004, Fall 2004, Spring 2005, Fall 2005, Spring 2006, Fall 2006, Spring 2007.

Return to math club schedule for current semester.

Funding for some talks is provided by the Funding Board of the UConn Undergraduate Student Government.


Officers: This semester, the president is Neal Lima and the treasurer is Nathan Stoloff.

Interested in joining? To be put on a mailing list to hear about upcoming events (or to be taken off the mailing list), send email to uconnmathclub@gmail.com.

Interested in speaking? If you 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 want 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.


Some links:

General information for undergraduates from the AMS (American Mathematical Society): contests, summer programs, semester study-abroad programs (e.g., in Budapest and Moscow), graduate schools, links to other college math clubs, and more.

Information for students from SIAM (the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics): career resources, graduate program descriptions, and other mathematical links.

Research Experiences for Undergraduates are listed at the web sites of the AMS and the NSF.

Interactive mathematics (proof of Pythagorean theorem, vector field flows, complex-valued functions, and so on). For an applet that lets you vary geodesic triangles in the hyperbolic plane, go here. Interactive models of polyhedra are here.

Mathematical history.

Biographies of mathematicians.

The mathematics genealogy project.

Math for America, an organization aiming to improve public school math instruction.
