The Texas A&M Math Department has student chapters of two national mathematics
organizations, the Mathematical Association of
America (MAA) and Pi Mu Epsilon (PME).
These organizations attempt to educate students about math outside their
typical course work and to give them an understanding of possible careers in
math and math-related fields.
Mathematical Association of America
Texas A&M's MAA student chapter is open to all students that have an interest
in mathematics. There are no scholastic requirements such as class standing or
grade point average. Students from any major are welcome to join. The cost of
membership is $20 per year for a student who chooses to receive either The College
Mathematics Journal, Mathematics Magazine, or Math Horizons. Even if decide not to become
a member, you can still attend the meetings. For students who choose The American
Mathematical Monthly, the cost is $30 per year. In addition to receiving their choice of
journals, students will receive discounts on meeting registration fees and MAA publications,
information on graduate study and career opportunities, information about
speakers, and opportunities to participate in student paper sessions at sectional meetings. For
more information about the sectional meetings see the
MAA Sectional Meeting Schedule.
The constitution for our chapter of the MAA can be found here.
Pi Mu Epsilon
Pi Mu Epsilon is an honorary mathematics organization whos motto is to promote scholarship
and mathematics. Students are required to meet certain requirements
in order to join Pi Mu Epsilon. There is a $20 lifetime membership fee. This includes a one-year membership to the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal.
Like MAA, there is no membership required to attend the meetings. The constitution for our chapter of
Pi Mu Epsilon can be found here.
Meetings
The two organizations share student officers
and hold joint monthly meetings and events.
At the meetings, speakers are invited to talk to the members. We often
arrange for prospective employers to visit and give presentations about
their companies to the members. Additionally, we sponsor special lectures
given by different faculty members who volunteer their time and knowledge.
We also distribute information about departmental activities and regional
conferences and contests in mathematics.
