The official purpose of MathCats is to foster community among math majors and to spark mathematical interest in everyone else. Our goal for this semester is to create a math culture at the University of Arizona that reaches from the Math Department across the entire campus.

This fall, MathCats will be running AMUC (Arizona Mathematics Undergraduate Conference) !

We also will be coordinating Math Awareness Week in the spring and holding a campus-wide celebration of Pi Day (3/14).

We will have several luncheons with visiting mathematicians throughout the semester, talks featuring local mathematicians, and workshops on math-related subjects.

Students interested in the Putnam Examination should email me, as we will be having practice and study sessions for those taking the exam.

We may also hold math-related events, tutoring, and workshops at local public schools. Details as this idea develops.
