DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS

MAA/PME

The Texas A&M Math Department has student chapters of two national mathematics organizations, the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and Pi Mu Epsilon . 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.


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. 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 section meetings.


Pi Mu Epsilon is an honorary mathematics organization. Student are required to meet certain requirements to join Pi Mu Epsilon. There is a $20 lifetime membership fee. This includes a one-year membership to the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal.


The two organizations share student officers and hold joint monthly meetings and events. At the meetings, speakers are invited to talk to the group. 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.

Events we participate in include Big Event, Pi a Prof , and the Texas A&M high school math contest. This year, 4 members attended the Joint Mathematics Conference in Washington D.C. in January, and 9 students will attend the Texas Section MAA Conference in Austin on April 7th.
