Hello hello hello!

I’m pretty excited about our next few days!

Tomorrow 9/22, we have Patrick Renken zooming in to speak to us.  What does an actuary really do?  How does one become an actuary?  Why would one want to be an actuary?  Like Mrs. Renken said last week, folks that are big brain in math know that academia is an option, maybe a job in finance – we would like to see if actuarial science can be added to this list.

Tomorrow is also our last time to meet and prepare for NSML #1, our first competition event next week Wednesday.  We will break out into our rooms by year to do some final practice and final testing.  It is very important that you are available tomorrow so that we can put our best team forward.

Also please fill out this form to confirm your intentions for NSML #1

Why will tomorrow be our last time to do some NSML prep?  Because next week Tuesday, our speaker will be taking the entire hour during their talk.  I’ll fill you in during our meeting tomorrow. =)

See ya zooming tomorrow at 3:35.

Team Math.

September is amazing, no?  Cooler weather, school has a rhythm to it, sports on tv again, and a growing math community… life is grand.

In fact, let me run through all of September for you

Last week we heard from some math majors from Yale

This week is our ONLY week to wholly focus on NSML preparation.

Then we have some sweet speakers in back to back weeks.  Pretty pumped… but let’s focus on the week ahead of us.

This week we will do a quick problem together then go to our breakout rooms to prep for NSML #1.  In each room, we will work through problems and work through how we will submit work in a timed environment to satisfy NSML requirements.

So see ya tomorrow, 3:35 – 4:25

Math team… ASSEMBLE!

Oh my, that three day weekend was very necessary… and the best thing about Monday off, is the short week ahead.  =)

Let’s start the school week off right and do some math team after school!

3:35 – 4:25

This week, we will have special lecturers: 

“Live from New Haven!”

A couple of our former math team members will give a talk on their studies and share some problems.  Want to know what it’s like to be a math major?  Want to hear about some college math?  Curious about campus life at ____?  What do math majors go on to do?  Got other questions?  

Zoooom in!!!

After their talk, we’ll have some Q and A (type into the chat), and then we will break out into our grade levels to do some focused study and work.

Get pumped!  We’re excited when you come!  Come in to listen and learn, come to give help and share insights.

Crazy to think about, but really, there are only about 17 times that we will meet together this semester… let’s learn as much as we can in our time together.

This week, Mr. Anderson will lead our discussions before we head off into breakout rooms per year.  

See ya’ll tomorrow,

Good morning mathematician!

Can you believe it?!  The last time all of Stevenson was in the building was 153 days ago on March 12.  You should try to calculate how many zoom calls ago that was…

Well, Math team lives on and our first meeting will be on Tuesday, August 18 at 3:35.

There we will introduce the format for the year and the competitions that we plan to participate in.  It will be nice to see your faces again.  =)

Expect a separate email in the coming days from the point person for each year.  They are:

FROSH: Anderson 

SOPH:  Kim

JR:  Renken

SR:  Tollefson 

See ya Tuesday!
