Congratulations to two of our undergraduates, Casey Bolles and Pavel Javornik! They were accepted to the University of Houston's Summer School on Dynamical Systems, expenses fully covered! The Department of Mathematics at University of Houston will host the sixth annual Houston Summer School on Dynamical Systems from May 16-24, 2018. The school will use short lecture courses, tutorial and discussion sessions, and student projects to explore various topics in dynamical systems.

Sponsored by the Office of Executive Vice Chancellor and the CUNY Institute for Software Design and Development (CISDD) and supported by the Office of the Chancellor, the CUNY Math Challenge seeks to identify and reward CUNY's best math talent. Regardless of your major, if you are a matriculated CUNY undergraduate student and enjoy doing math problems, the CUNY Math Challenge is for you! There are stipend awards in the final round.

Here's how it works. The contest begins on-line at 9:00 A.M. on Monday, March 12, 2018 and is composed of two rounds with questions of varying difficulty. The first round will take place entirely online, remain open for two weeks, ending on March 25. The second round is in-person by invitation only is on Sunday, April 15, 2018 10am-noon. Invitations will be by email. This round determines the winners, who will be notified by email. A celebration for the winners will take place in mid-May. Winners will receive a stipend worth between $100 and a top prize of $1,000. Up to $6,000 will be awarded to the winners.

So, are you up for the challenge?

We are proud to announce the NYC Regional Math Alliance! The goal of the NYC Math Alliance is to carry out the mission of the National Math Alliance in the New York City Metropolitan Area. Our goal is simple: we want to be sure that every underrepresented or underserved American student with the talent and the ambition has the opportunity to earn a doctoral degree in a mathematical science.

CCNY graduate, Tai Danae-Bradley, is cohosting a youtube channel called “PBS Infinite Series”. She finished her undergraduate degree at CCNY in 2014 and is currently working on her Ph.D. at the CUNY Graduate center. For more details, click on the image below.

For the Fall 2017 semester, every Tuesday at 1:00 PM, The Math Club and A.W.M. meets in 6/270 for an afternoon tea. All are welcome to stop by, enjoy some tea, and chat about math!
