Math Scholars Group
The math scholars group is a program open to all students enrolled in a mathematics or applied mathematics module. The group is also open to students who are interested in mathematics and are enrolled in some mathematically related course. The aim of the program is to create a community of young scholars in mathematics who will have considerable interaction with faculty, and with each other.The privileges of membership in the group include access to individually designed programs. Members have easy access to faculty for advice on matters such as course selection and extra resource materials where appropriate, as well as on degree requirements and financial assistance.
The Department has set up a study room which provides study space and access to computers on the first floor of Middlesex College for the exclusive use of members of the group.
In connection with the Math Scholars Group, the Department has launched the Undergraduate Mathematics Pizza Seminar. Faculty and visitors give talks on a variety of mathematical subjects, suitable for undergraduate students. The talks are usually on the informal side, often humorous, but always with real mathematical content, intended to broaden the audience's horizons a bit. The talks are followed by a social hour with pizza. All students and faculty are welcome.
From time to time, representatives of corporations and other large employers meet with the Math Scholars Group to present employment and internship opportunities. Members also receive announcements of such opportunities via the group's e-mail list.
The group is open to undergraduate students from all years. Membership is by invitation, based on grades and other evidence of ability and interest. Inquiries are welcome. The administrator of the program is Ajneet Dhillon.
