This student organization meets weekly during the school year. Activities include solving math problems, listening to math talks, and watching math movies. Each fall the club co-organizes (with TEAM) the Gathering for Gardner Celebration of Mind party. Everyone is welcome.

Putnam Competition
This challenging math competition is open to all undergraduate students. It consists of a 6 hour math test the first Saturday of December each year. The competition is free to enter and we hold study sessions during the fall semester. For more information, contact Oscar Levin.
