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.
