AMS Student Chapter

The AMS sponsors us to run various mathematics-related events! Below is a collection of recents seminars and information sessions that this has supported. You can also find information on our department webpage.

Community Seminar

We have a seminar which students can use to speak on any topic of their choosing. Be that related to their research, practice for an upcoming presentation, or just some fun mathematics they came across recently!

Excursions

When we can find a free moment for a bunch of us, we try to get outside the confines of the university to enjoy ourselves a bit!
