43. About The NEU Math Student Seminar The Student Seminar is designed and organized by graduate students. from undergraduate math students to faculty; and are given by students, http://hawk.serenevy.net/Student_Seminar/about.html

Northeastern University Mathematics Department Student Seminar Talks are intended to be accessible and interesting to a broad audience, from undergraduate math students to faculty; and are given by students, with occasional talks by visiting scholars and current faculty. Talks can vary from introductory material that is understandable by an advanced undergraduate student to more advanced topics that may be of interest to advanced graduate students and faculty. All students are encouraged to volunteer as speakers. One of the purposes of the seminar is to provide an opportunity for the students from different disciplines and technical backgrounds to share information that they have acquired, be exposed to mathematics outside their field of interest, and provide an opportunity for the students to give talks. All students, irrespective of their mathematical background, are strongly encouraged to attend and/or to give talks. Talks arising from different fields of study as well as interdisciplinary areas are encouraged. If you are interested in giving a talk or if you know or want to invite a guest to give a talk, please contact one of the organizers. Also, if you would like to learn about a subject in mathematics, or if you have suggestions and/or ideas, please contact the organizers. Goals of the Student Seminar: Expose students of all levels to diverse topics of pure and applied mathematics as well as interdisciplinary areas. Therefore providing students (and others) with an opportunity to learn and broaden their knowledge in different areas of mathematics besides their interests, without needing any specialized knowledge in that area.

Newsroom Directory Tuesday, February 26, 2002 Math students learn online By Gina Buccino Enquirer Contributor WeBWork is a software package being used by the high school for the first time this year. The program, offered through Ohio State University, allows students to tackle college calculus problems via the Internet. The program is not part of the grade that students receive in their calculus class. But it does help students who plan to take the Advanced Placement test in May. Students who earn a 3 or higher, out of a possible 5, can receive college credit. Little Miami calculus instructor Rick Lovins chooses calculus problems from a database and contacts Ohio State University via e-mail, where instructors will create an assignment for a student. Students are then given a timeframe to complete the assignment. Students can work on their problems over the Internet anytime and get instant feedback on whether the answer is right or wrong. Students can submit their answers as often as they like, without penalty. Mr. Lovinssets a day aside during the week to answer a student's questions, or they can also e-mail him questions.

Music and Math By: Catherine Schmidt-Jones Summary: An overview of some of the math concepts that are relevant to music. Includes suggestions for classroom activities for grades 3-7 that use music to illustrate a math concept, as well as reviews of the math necessary for older students to understand some music theory and acoustics. Most people enjoy music and find it a naturally interesting subject, while many consider math to be a "difficult" subject. Often they do not realize how closely related music and math are. Rhythm and pitch, two of the most basic elements of music, are best described using basic math concepts. The following lesson suggestions either use music to illustrate an imortant math concept, or they explain the math underlying an important idea in music theory. The math / music concepts explored include: Fractions / rhythm Sets and intersecting sets / keys and related keys The relationship between ratios, fractions, and decimals / frequency and interval Roots and powers / equal temperament tuning Uses for these lessons: For math students 3rd-5th grade who may be struggling with the connections between the concepts of multiplication, division, and fractions

Panel discussions, one on careers in mathematics and the other on the experiences of undergraduate math students, round out the day's activities. Participants take field trips to various campus laboratories and facilities where mathematics is put to use every day, including the virtual reality (HIT) lab, planetarium, Puget Sound simulator, and computer labs. Access to these field trips is limited. Tickets are distributed randomly to every school. (The number of tickets distributed is half the number of students registered.) Access to some of the hands-on activities will also be limited and tickets will be distributed. You are encouraged to register early. Registration is limited to 1,100 students.

These quotes are some of the responses made on the Survey of Doctoral Education and Career Preparation. The quotes are sorted by discipline. You can see the response from other disciplines . These quotes supplement an article of advice for selecting a doctoral program . Students responded to the question: "Knowing everything that you know now, what advice would you give others entering or in the early years of graduate school? " The quotes are sorted into six categories. Generally, there are a half dozen comments per category, the alternating colors are different student's comments. These categories were applied by us, as we read through the thousands of comments. They are the most common categories of advice pertaining to the selection of a doctoral program. The frequency with which various kinds of advice emerged varies by discipline. You can see the relative distribution here.

ARML is an annual national mathematics competition in which teams of 15 high school students represent their city, state, county, or school in competing amongst the best students from the United States and Canada. This year, ARML will be held on June 2, 2001, and will occur simultaneously at three sites: The University of Iowa, The Pennsylvania State University, and San Jose State University. The event consists of Team, Power, Individual, and Relay rounds and usually takes place the first Saturday after Memorial Day.

Campus Business Sports Nature/Resources ... Students Montana State University Communications Services MSU math student's prize means she's number one by MSU-Bozeman News Service Awarded by the Association for Women in Mathematics, Kirkpatrick shares the award with Melanie Wood, a student at Duke University. Both winners will receive their award in January at ceremonies to be held in San Diego. The award carries a $750 cash prize. This is the second major award in 2001 for Kirkpatrick, who received a prestigious Goldwater Scholarship for undergraduate students studying math and science last spring. Just 21, Kirkpatrick uses understatement and an infectious giggle as she describes her passions for rock climbing, classical piano and abstract mathematics. Kirkpatrick said when she came to MSU as a Presidential Scholar; she planned to study to become a brain surgeon. However, she said she failed miserably dissecting crickets' brains in her first MSU research project with the MSU Center for Computational Biology. Instead, she became fascinated with the Center's use of mathematical models to predict voltage traces in cricket ganglia. That, coupled with taking some "really cool" math classes, led to her deciding to become a mathematician, she said.
