UConn Math Club - Spring 2008
Welcome! All students interested in mathematics are invited to attend the club's events.
Usually the club listens to talks aimed at its members. Talks generally will not require a background
beyond calculus and a little linear algebra. Free refreshments will be provided.

- Interested in joining?
To be put on a mailing list to hear about upcoming events (or to be taken off the mailing list),
send an email to uconnmathclub@gmail.com.
- Interested in speaking?
If you know something in mathematics (a result, an idea or method, some history) which would also
interest undergraduates, come tell us about it! Please write to
uconnmathclub@gmail.com.
Some funding can be provided. When you prepare your talk, please include some references to the
literature so students may read further on your topic later.
- Interested in a topic?
If you want to hear a talk about some part of mathematics, especially one which may not be in a
regularly offered course, let us know and hopefully we can find a suitable speaker to address your interests.
