Happy Pi Day!
Today is 3/14, also known as Pi(=3.14…) Day. The Math Department celebrated this momentous day early this year on March 7th, referred to as “Poorly Approximated Pi Day.”
Students and Faculty enjoyed 4 pi(e)s (made by Dr. Mitch and Dr. Phillipson) and ice cream. Dr. Kaitlyn Phillipson also led an activity on constructing modular origami. Several dedicated students stayed well into the evening to work together to assemble an icosahedron. Here is a link to a photo album.

Thank you to Math Club and Dr. Mitch for organizing and advertising the event.
On Friday October 28, the Math club carved some pumpkins! The event was organized primarily by Crisel Suarez. The club purchased 8 pumpkins and there were 8 participants.
We were sure to take many pictures, all of which can be seen at this link:
We should be sure to thank Crisel for her hard work in organizing this event.
Dr. Mitch Phillipson and Dr. Kaitlyn Phillipson brought 12 students to the Texas Undergraduate Math Conference (TUMC) at Lamar University in Beaumont October 7-8, a new St. Edward’s record! The students attended a variety of undergraduate research talks as well as two plenary talks. Of the 12 students, four presented on their research:
The remaining 8 students were:
Congratulations to all students and faculty who attended, we’ve set a high bar that will be hard to pass next year.
