Welcome to the CSU Math Club!

The Math Club is a place for people who enjoy the power and beauty of mathematics.  Mathematics is that light at the end of the tunnel that opens you up to a whole new world and a new way of seeings things.  It is the offspring of the marriage between aesthetics and logic.  Not seeing the beauty of mathematics is like complaining about how ugly a painting is covered with tarp.  Open your eyes, join us, and set your mind on fire.


Our meetings are (usually) every Tuesday from 3:00 to 3:50 in RT 1516

Everyone is welcome from the mathematically timid to the mathematically bold!

 
Welcome, CSU Students!
Our next meeting will be:

 

Problem-Solving Practice Session

Come hone your problem-solving skills!  We'll practice with some techniques and sample problems that can help you out in any math class, or in any upcoming math competitions (such as this spring's Ohio MAA conference). 

(Or you could just come for the chance to win dining dollars by solving our Problems of the Week.)

     As always, it's FREE!
