Undergraduate Math Club
The Math Club meets each Wednesday at 4 PM. We meet in 300 SEO, the Math Lounge.
Feel free to drop by, there are no dues:-) Plus, refreshments are always served!
Thanks to Richard Kairelis for serving as Math Club President for 2007-2008! The group decided at the last meeting on April 9 to pass the post on to John Goes for 2008-2009.
And don't forget the Awards Tea on Friday, April 25 in 300 SEO. The time is 4:15 PM. All are welcome to drop by to enjoy the usual Friday Tea refreshments and revelry, plus give a round of applause for your fellow students.
Good Luck on Finals, everyone! See you all next Fall.
