Miscellaneous opportunities for Math T-shirt Pictures

Legendary opportunities for Math T-shirt Photographs
  • Tie-dye math T-shirts are my favorite. WIM is having their first social event tomorrow (Friday, 9/26) at 3PM on the lawn between East Hall and the Dennison building. Please e-mail women.in.math.board@umich.edu for more information.
  • For those of you who like to plan your Math T-shirt photo opportunities far, far, far in advance: Michigan's Semester in Detroit program is taking early applications for the Winter 2013 term until May 11. This is something I definitely would have taken advantage of as an undergraduate; be sure to check it out.
  • Eat, take Math T-shirt photos, and do good. The Young People's Project (YPP) is an afterschool program that promotes math literacy and social change. The UofM branch of YPP is hosting a fundraiser Tuesday April 17 from 10PM to 4:30AM at Pizza House (and Faz's pizza). If you mention YPP, then 15% of of the proceeds will be donated to YPP. (2012)
  • This fall the College is offering at least two courses about the uses of mathematics in the social sciences. Neither will count towards a math concentration or minor. However, both should be interesting, both could potentially fulfill some of your distribution requirements, and both present new terrain for math T-shirt pictures. Ethnomathematics (ANTHRCUL 357) will explore mathematical thought in non-western cultures from the past and present. Mathematical Psychology (PSYCH 448) will present tools that are commonly used in the mathematical analysis of psychological processes and data, particularly with respect to measurement and choice. (2012)
  • Many undergraduates enjoy attending the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics; the deadline for the fall term is April 30.
  • Interested in Big Data? Then you may find the Fall 2012 offering of Honors 352 Cyberscience and the Rise of the Fourth Paradigm interesting; plus, we have no Math T-shirt photos from the cloud. Note: this course will not count towards a math concentration or minor; it may fulfill a distribution requirement.
  • Much closer to home: we have no math T-shirt photos from the Sweetland Writing Center.

  • We have no pictures of Math students participating in government -- now is your chance to fill the gap. Mathematics needs two or three students to represent it on the LSA Student Government Concentration Council. This is a forum for student representatives of each LSA department to come together and share various aspects of their undergraduate experience. Last year we discussed departmental communications directed at concentrators, department websites, resources for students through their departments, and tutoring services provided by the department, among other topics. If you are interested, please contact me.
