Student Activities
In the math department:
- Slow-Pitch Seminar (organizer: William Keith)
-
Purposes of the Slow-Pitch seminar include:
- Provide seminars at a mathematical maturity level aimed toward graduate students, beyond seminars intended for undergraduates or non-mathematicians but not assuming professional familiarity with a specialty.
- Introduce graduate students to the spectrum of research interests that can be pursued in the Department; allow graduate students and advisors to connect if they find common interests.
- Provide an opportunity for specialists of one kind to learn something of a subfield other than their own.
An ideal Slow-Pitch Seminar will meet all three of these objectives; typically, the most important criterion is the first. Occasionally, visitors are invited to speak, in which case Objective 2 is necessarily attenuated.
The Slow-Pitch, in semesters where it has run, has typically been a biweekly seminar scheduled for one hour during a midweek afternoon. Refreshments, usually pizza and soda, are provided by the organizer.
- Friday Student Lunch Seminar
-
You may join the CAM students and faculty for lively discussion and some eating: pizza and soda will be provided to you for free after the 30-minute talk.
- The Penn State Math Club
-
A Penn State student organization, its purpose is to promote the interest of mathematics at Penn State and to aid math students or anyone with an interest in mathematics, and also to promote interaction among math undergraduates, graduates and faculty.
- Penn State SIAM Student Chapter
-
(under construction)
- Women in Mathematics (female students are welcome to join)
