GO BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

The Department of Mathematics believes that some of the best mathematics is discovered outside of the classroom. The Department sponsors activities and events each year to promote real world learning and inquiry. They are:
MATH CLUB
During the fall and spring semesters, Math Club generally meets twice a month for talks and recreational math activities. In addition, there are several opportunities throughout the year to travel and connect with the wider math community.
For more information, see Math Club Advisor Dr. Daniel Scofield.
