News on Return of the UW Math Club...

(June 16, 2005)

Long ago, UW had a math club that ceased to be...

Thanks to all of you who have responded so warmly to the call for resurrecting the UW math club.

New News:
The deadline for submitting abstracts for Student Speakers and applying for a student travel grant for this year's MathFest is June 28, 2005. The on-line application forms are here.

Old News:
The club just had its first meeting on Thursday, June 9, in the Math Lounge. 14 people came (thanks to all for coming!) We discussed (over cookies) interests and possible activies and directions for the club. Siva Sankrithi has agreed to be the interim club coordinator until election in the fall. So he will now coordinate the meetings and fall election. If you have ideas/suggestions about activities or would like to be involved with particular activities, please send a note to Siva (sivas@u.washington.edu) (or to me and I will forward it to him). A detailed summary of the meeting, nicely written by Siva, can be found here. To make the ideas reality, we hope everyone will get involved. So, come to one of the club meetings (dates and times during summer will be posted, place will likely be the Math Study Center) and/or write Siva (or me).

A group led by David Duncan, Michael Duncan, and Sam Burden has been meeting regularly for math topics. Contact David (pranadav@u.washington.edu) or Michael (ludwig48@u.washington.edu) if you are interested.

This webpage will remain the interim club webpage until the MSCC sets up an account for a permanent club website (hopefully this summer). Then Michael Schmitz will manage the club website, assisted by Paco Cruz, Chris Marusich, and Ted Carroll. (Thanks to them for volunteering!)
