Undergraduate Mathematics Students
Tutoring for Athletes
Dear Mr. Scroggs,
My name is Jennifer MacNab and I work with the
tutorial program staff at the Academic Support Program for Student
Athletes. Your name was given to me by Phil Moses as a possible contact
person in the Math Dept. here at NCSU. We are currently in need of math
tutors at all levels, but especially in the 100 level classes such as
101, 103, 105 and 107. I am hoping that you will pass this information
along to some of your promising students who meet the qualifications
listed in our brochure (attached) and on our website
www.ncsu.edua/aspsa. If you could forward this information along I
would very much appreciate it. Also, if you would like to speak with me
regarding our organization or have me speak with any of your students I
would be happy to. My contact information is listed below. Thanks very
much!

The SUM Series: Mathematics and pizza!
Announcing the SUM Series, sponsored by the NC State Society for Undergraduate Mathematics.
The SUM Series features informal, interesting talks on mathematical topics or issues of interest to math undergrads. Pizza is provided. Talks are Thursdays from 3:00 to 3:50 in Harrelson 330.
The first talk is "Avalanches and the Brazil Nut Effect" by Michael Shearer. Sept. 4, 3:00-3:50. The topic is granular materials (like snow or a can of nuts), and the talk will include movies of simulations and exact solutions.
Other topics for the semester include:
Ranking sports teams with Google's PageRank.
Making the grad school decision.
The mathematics of financial risk.
Domino tilings.
The mathematics of voting.
An ancient algorithm for settling debts.
Math movie nite (afternoon)
Check out the details on Dr. Shearer's talk or the schedule for the rest of the semester.
