In this problem-solving seminar (for 1 credit hour), you’ll learn how to solve math problems without advanced theory. The problem-solving skills you’ll gain will help in other classes and Math Club contests. For more information, contact Doug Weakley, professor of mathematics, at [email protected] or 260-481-6233.
The Indiana College Mathematics Competition—where teams of students cooperatively solve problems—is usually held every spring semester at an Indiana college. For more information, contact Doug Weakley, professor of mathematics, at [email protected] or 260-481-6233.
The Putnam Competition is a prestigious national math contest that’s usually held each December. Participants are scored at an on-campus proctored event. For more information, contact Peter Dragnev, chair and professor of mathematics, at [email protected] or 260-481-6382.


Study Abroad
Let the world be your classroom.
Your college experience is special—and uniquely yours. Imagine enhancing it by taking your studies overseas. Living and learning in a different country will foster both your independence and your personal development.
