Student Activities
Mathematics Modeling Contest
The Department of Mathematics annually sponsors one or more teams of undergraduates for this national contest. A recent team of two freshmen and a senior completed a project involving the detection of the presence, size, and motion of a submarine within the natural background noise in the ocean.
The Mathematics Society
The student-run society holds monthly meetings and parties. Recent speakers described interesting careers or discussed varied research projects. Members may apply for membership in the student chapter of The Mathematical Association of America.
Pi Mu Epsilon
Qualified students may apply for this national honor society for undergraduates in mathematics.
Putnam Examination
Each year, interested students sit for this prestigious examination. In the past, a number of JU students have scored well.
