This Saturday, February 23rd, KME will be hosting our annual Integration Bee !
This is the perfect opportunity for your students to brush up on their integration skills and compete with one another in a friendly environment. The competition will start at 10:00 am in VH 1224. Although this event is best aimed at students who are currently in or already completed Calc II, it is open to all students. In the past, some professors have offered extra credit to students who participate and place in the top three finalists. If you are interested in this, please let Molly Dieckman (mmd4624@truman.edu) know by Friday and we can ensure that attendance is taken for your student participants.
“Careers in Applied Mathematics— Alternatives to academia for STEM majors,” a 20 page guide published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is now available. It includes 18 profiles of individuals educated in the math sciences and working outside of academia, and can provide ideas and insight to students or young professionals wondering what else is out there for them if they major in math-related subjects.
The online version can be accessed at the link below, where you will also find a PDF version for download: http://www.siam.org/careers/thinking.php
