THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: What month does “Mathematical Awareness Month” fall under?
The students in UMO, Undergraduate Mathematics Organization, would first like to thank the Saint Rose Faculty Members who have came to our meetings in the past, and will in the future, as well as the ones that support us in any ways possible. It is thanks to your guidance and assistance that we are able to become more prosperous individuals. Also, a special thanks to Dr. Joanne Powers. She has taken a large role in helping and supporting the students in this organization as we come up with a constitution to be an official Saint Rose Club.
At this time, UMO would also like to extend this invitation to every Saint Rose Faculty Member and Saint Rose student to attend our meetings and events. UMO will be holding meetings twice a month. The next meetings are scheduled for Friday, March 15 and Friday, March 22. The meetings are held in Albertus Hall in room 101 from 2:30-3:30 p.m.
The meeting on Friday, March 15 will be an “interest meeting” for students who want to attend the MoMath trip we are planning. MoMath is a mathematics museum located in New York City. The museum has an atmosphere that makes learning mathematics fun and interactive. It could be a great tool for any education major (elementary or secondary) who want to find new ways to incorporate mathematics into the classroom in a fun way!
3.14159265359… Some may recognize this number as the first few digits to the number Pi, an irrational number, one that never ends. On March 14, or Pi Day, UMO will be hosting its first bake sale in the commuter lounge near Starbucks. The fundraiser is to help get the club on its feet. There should be a lot of goodies and treats for everyone. The support is always welcomed. If you have any questions about UMO, feel free to stop by and ask one of us selling our Pi Day treats.
