Kappa Mu Epsilon
2001 to 2002

Purpose:
Kappa Mu Epsilon (KME) is a national organization
founded to bind together in a common fellowship those who are serious students
of the mathematical sciences. KME stresses the importance not
only of learning particular mathematical topics, but also gaining an overall
appreciation of the beauty and importance of the mathematical sciences
in many fields of endeavor. At the local level, one of our goals
is to bring the students and faculty together outside of class.
Membership:
Local membership is open to all interested students.
National membership is by invitation to students with an overall GPA of
3.0, a math GPA of 3.0, at least 9 hours of math courses including Calculus,
and 45 hours overall.
