What events does the PMC organize?
We organize various academic and social events. On the academic side, we organize talks by professors and students. Have some interesting
math to share? Sign up for a slot at our termly SASMS (Short
Attention Span Math Seminars). We also organize math contests in
most terms!
Contrary to the stereotype of mathematicians being too shy to
socialize, you can usually find some PMC members hanging out,
working or getting food together on campus.
You guys sound like my kind of people! How do I get involved?
To join, just show up to the club office and pay the $2 membership fee! We hold a termly disorganizational meeting where we elect execs and assign termly responsibilities. Show up and volunteer (or sometimes get voluntold) for positions. You can run for President, VP Finance, VP (PMATH|AMATH|CO), VP Propaganda, VP Pop, or Secretary.
You guys have a sick blackboard in your office, can I work in there?
We often work on our assignments together in our office. It's a nice space with a blackboard, whiteboard, reference books and a computer for music and WolframAlpha! Be warned though, it's hard to be productive when your friends are around!
Why the focus on PM in your short names?
The club actually started out as the Pure Math Club, before later expanding to include C&O, and even later absorbing the defunct Applied Math Club to include AM. Through all the changes, people have just kept calling it the Pure Math Club for short. However, all forms including AMC, C&OC, and AMC&OPM Club are all valid according to our constitution!
