You should consider creating an official CCNY club which might entitle you to money from the USG.

If you have an official or unofficial student club and would like a link from this page, or a page on this website please write to mathweb@ccny.cuny.edu. It is also possible to list events on our events page. (For example, the Math club has a calendar.)

Dr. Emil L. Post

Emil L. Post was a City College alumnus and then returned after completing his Ph.D. from Columbia University to become faculty in 1936. His research contributed to various fields of mathematics including polyadic groups, recursively enumerable sets, degrees of unsolvability, and combinatorics. He is best known for his work in computability theory and mathematical models that are similar to the Turing machine model.

He graduated from City College (1917) with a B.S. in mathematics and received his Ph.D. from Columbia University (1920).
