Come and help us celebrate the accomplishments of our students!
Our Annual Awards Day Ceremony is on Friday, April 28th. We will have tea at 3:00 PM in Monteith 201, followed by the awards ceremony at 3:30 PM in Schenker Lecture Hall. (Program and list of awards.)
This year’s Invited Address will be given by Dr. Brendan Kelly, preceptor in Mathematics at Harvard University. He will speak on “How many ways can I get to the coffee shop?”.
The annual Calculus Competition will be held 6:30-8:00 p.m. Thursday
6 April 2017 in room 226 of the Monteith Building. Cash and book prizes
will be awarded in three categories: Beginner (roughly, through first-year
calculus), Intermediate (roughly, through multivariable calculus, beginning
differential equations, and beginning linear algebra), and Over-all. All
UConn undergraduates, and pre-college students taking math courses
AT UCONN (not co-op courses in high school), are eligible to participate.
Participants should register by Monday 3 April, either on the sheet outside
the Reception Office (Monteith 217) or (better) by email to Prof. Sidney; if you register by email, give your name, phone
number, email address, and the numbers of UConn math courses you are taking
now, with instructor names for multi-section courses. Participants should
arrive at the competition by 6:20 the evening of the exam. Questions may be
addressed to Prof. Sidney.
The Department of Mathematics will be departing its longtime location in the Gant Science Complex for a new one, in the Henry Ruthven Monteith Building. More information about that building’s renovations is available from the Daily Campus.
The move is scheduled to begin the week of August 8, during which time the elevators and hallways in both buildings will be in heavy use by workers and movers. We ask that individuals not affiliated with the move avoid both MSB and Monteith until the subsequent week, at which point we will be proud to welcome everyone to our new home.
Our Annual Awards Day Ceremony took place on Thursday, April 21st.
This year’s Invited Address was given by Dr. Charles Hadlock, professor of Mathematical Sciences at Bentley University. He spoke on “A Mathematicians Perspective on How So Many Things Can Fall Apart in the Blink of an Eye”.
