Graduate School and Career Fair
Math Treasure Hunt
On Thursday evening (March 27),
there will be a Mathematics Treasure Hunt for
students and their advisors. Students will use mathematics to solve clues and
look for a “treasure.” This is a fun, non-competitive event that
will give students an opportunity to meet and work with students from other
colleges and universities. It is also greatly appreciated if math club advisors
would be willing to help at this event. If you have any questions or would like
to volunteer to help, please contact Julie Barnes
(jbarnes@email.wcu.edu). We will be meeting in
the lobby of Thompson Hall.
Check-in is between 7:00pm and 7:30pm with the
event starting at 7:30pm.
Math Jeopardy
Teams of three or four undergraduates
will compete in a mathematical version of the well-known answer-and-question
game. Competition is limited to the first twelve
schools that register. Topics will include calculus (single and multi-variable),
linear algebra, differential equations, and discrete mathematics. The
preliminary rounds for Math Jeopardy will be scheduled on Friday morning from 8:00-12:00 in the auditorium of Grimsley Hall.
To register a team or to find out more, contact John
Harris (john.harris@furman.edu)
or Mike Mossinghoff (mimossinghoff@davidson.edu).
In this venue, students considering
graduate school in mathematical sciences have opportunities to meet with
representatives of various graduate programs and companies. The fair is
scheduled at 11:10am - 12:40pm on Friday, March 28, in Greater
Issues Room & Room 228 of Mark Clark Hall . Pizzas, chips
and drinks will be provided.
Representatives
of graduate schools and companies should contact Mei
Chen (mei.chen@citadel.edu) to
