Math Club classroom

Welcome!

All students interested in mathematics are invited to attend the club’s events, such as talks aimed at students, problem-solving sessions, and panel discussions. The talks generally will not require a background beyond calculus and a little linear algebra. Free refreshments will be provided.

Contact us: You can reach the math club by email at the address uconnmathclub@gmail.com.

Officers: The president and secretary is Leonard Schweitzer, the vice-president is Rachel Sorensen, and the treasurer is Omkar Maralappanavar. The faculty advisor is Keith Conrad.

Interested in joining? The math club is open to all registered UConn students. We have a group page on UConntact, on Twitter, and on Discord. Please go to our UConntact page and click on the Join Organization button.

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, write to the email address above and hopefully we can find a suitable speaker to address your interests.
