University of Kentucky Math Club
Welcome to the Department's Undergraduate Student Organization. The Math Club is open to all undergraduate students with an interest in mathematics. We hold several meetings a semester on topics of interest to students. Meetings may feature a talk on an interesting piece of mathematics, information about opportunities for mathematics students during the summer or career information.
Students who are interested in organizing additional activities should contact Professor Alberto Corso (corso@ms.uky.edu) or the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Russell Brown (russell.brown@uky.edu).
