CSH Integration Bee on Friday, 4/19
Why are Integrals so awesome? They’re like puzzle pieces that unlock a world of possibilities! From finding areas and volumes to pinpointing central locations, they’re the superheroes of math, science, and beyond!
But wait, there’s more! Picture this: a showdown of epic proportions, where students go head-to-head, solving integrals in a race against time. Well that’s our Integration Bee—an electrifying math tournament where every answer unlocks the door to victory! Plus, it’s not just about the competition. There’ll be plenty of chances to mingle, munch on tasty treats, and dive into fun activities.
If that wasn’t exciting enough, the CSH Integration Bee is awarding $500 to the first place winner, $200 to second place, and $100 to third. The CSH Integration Bee will take place 12:00pm-3:00pm on Friday, April 19 in McGowan South 107. Sign up here by April 12th! If you don’t want to compete, no worries–come watch your peers beat each other to bloody pulps with calculus for money! Flyer and info sheet attached!
Math Conference Trips
The week before Winter Quarter finals, six DePaul math students road tripped to Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois for the annual meeting of the Illinois Section of the Mathematical Association of America. It was an absolute blast to carpool across Illinois, attend talks, participate in activities, and hang out at our Airbnbs. We’re looking forward to the next one, and can’t wait to see you there!
Speaking of the next conference, the DePaul Math Club will be venturing four hours by car into Indiana for the Annual Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Math Conference. We’re carpooling on the evening of Friday 4/26, staying the night in Indiana, and heading back the next day once the conference is concluded. It’s going to be a blast, and I would love to see you there. Expenses are being generously covered by the DePaul Math Department—so long as receipts are kept and expenses are reasonable and under transportation, housing, or food. Sign up here, and read more here. Registration is free until April 13 then it costs $10, so don’t delay!
DePaul Math Club
The DePaul Math Club meets Fridays at 12:00 in Arts and Letters 410. It’s a great time filled with pizza, beverages, great people, a relaxed environment, and some fascinating mathematics—math that’s both niche and underdiscussed and the hottest topics leading the math world today. We are usually joined by student researchers, graduate students, or professors—some from DePaul and some from other institutions—to share the math they work with. No math background required. We hope that you will join us for one of our upcoming meetings:
- Friday, 4/12* – Talk by Dr. Emily Barnard
- Friday, 4/19 – Integration Bee (special time and location)
- Friday, 4/26 – Talk by Dr. David Sher
After the Math Club Meeting on 4/12, there will also be MAT Community Tea & Coffee Hours back in the Math Dept. on the 5th floor of SAC.
MAT Community Tea & Coffee Hour Dates for Spring 2024
Throughout the year, the MAT Department hosts a number of informal events meant to help build and sustain our mathematical sciences community here at DePaul. These events provide an opportunity to meet with fellow MAT students, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as MAT faculty members in a relaxed setting.
We will have four teas during the spring quarter:
- Friday, 4/12 at 1:30-2:45 pm
- Friday, 5/3 at 1:30-2:45 pm
- Friday, 5/17 at 1:30-2:45 pm

“Journeys of Black Mathematicians: Forging Resilience” on F 2/23
In honor of Black History Month, the Department of Mathematical Sciences invites all members of the DePaul community to join us for a screening of the new documentary “Journeys of Black Mathematicians – Forging Resilience.” Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
When: Friday, February 23, 3:00-4:30 pm
Where: McGowan South 104
Details: Forging Resilience, a documentary project by George Csicsery, traces the evolution of a culture of Black scholars, scientists and educators. The film follows the stories of prominent pioneers, showing how the challenges they faced, and their triumphs are reflected in the experiences of today’s working Black mathematicians. Their mathematical descendants in turn are contemporary college students, and K-12 children across the U.S. who are learning that they belong in mathematics and STEM. Check out the film’s website here.
Bonus: A recent DePaul graduate is featured in the film!
