Call for Undergraduate Colloquium Speakers

Are you interested in presenting your undergraduate math research? Are you interested in presenting about a math topic you found intriguing, whether or not you’ve done original research on it? Are you interested in attending talks exploring different kinds of math?

The Undergraduate Math Colloquium is the right place for you. We will have (roughly) weekly math talks given by undergraduate students at UofT. The talks should be made as accessible as possible to most undergraduates.

Please email undergraduatemathcolloquium@gmail.com if you’d like to give a talk. More information and presentation dates coming soon!

Math Union Meet and Greet

Come and meet the Math Union executives as well as other math students at our meet and greet event! The event will be on Wednesday September 29th from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm just outside the South entrance of the Bahen building. Drop by at any time. There will be free coffee and snacks!

Math Union x Association for Women in Mathematics Hearts and Crafts Event

The UofT Association for Women in Math and Math Union are excited to present Hearts + Crafts! Join us on Wednesday, September 22nd, 2021 (1-4 PM EST) for some math art fun and a “Queers in Mathematics” trivia afternoon!

Using straight lines to create concentric circles and cardioids, we’ll create some beautiful heart art that you can then decorate and share. A Kahoot trivia event focused on LGBTQ+ individuals in mathematics will take place afterwards with a chance to win gift card prizes! All are welcome!

CMS Winter Meeting Opportunity

The Canadian Mathematical Society Student Committee (CMS Studc) invites students (undergraduate and graduate) to present a talk on a topic of their choice on December 8-11 at the Student Research Session during the 2017 CMS Winter Meeting in Waterloo, Ontario.
These presentations should introduce the student’s research to a general mathematical audience. If requested by the presenter, an experienced mentor will be available to provide feedback on the talk.
Any questions about the student sessions should be directed to the student session organizers, Aram Dermenjian and Robert Redelmeier, at studc-winter17-session@cms.math.ca.
To register for the session, contact the organizers of the session with a draft abstract by November 15. Notice of acceptance will be given shortly thereafter. Abstracts submitted after this deadline will be considered if space remains.
Presenters will also have to register for the meeting, which can be done through this form. Student members of the CMS who are presenting a poster or talk have significantly reduced registration costs ($30 until October 31, $45 thereafter). If you are not currently a member of the CMS, talk to your department chair about the possibility of becoming a university-sponsored student member for a reduced fee.
Regards,
Canadian Mathematical Society Student Committee (CMS Studc)
