Ultimate Frisbee

There's so much to do, it could make you dizzy. / 
We haven't even mentioned Ultimate Frisbee! / 
You might forget to study if you get too busy, / 
But don't, or you might flunk your next pop quizzy. 

 

Mathematics community

Faculty and students enjoy getting together outside of class as much as (or more than?) in class. Roughly once a month, we gather for coffee and conversation at the Twisted Whisk Coffeehouse, for our fall cookout, annual Christmas cookie decorating party or Pi Day celebration.

Each week, mathematics faculty and students  and all others who are interested gather for a presentation on a mathematics or computer topic. Topics and presenters are announced weekly to the campus community.

Pi Day

Students and faculty gather for the annual Pi Day celebration! You might even sing “ Pi (A Love Song) ” by Dr. Darryn Nester, a winner in the National Museum of Mathematics’ (MoMath’s) 2015 song contest.
