Students: Careers in Mathematics Panel 3:30 - 5:00 p.m || Rees-Jones Hall 112Pre-event refreshments 2:45 p.m. || TUC 300

Have you ever wondered what jobs are open to mathematics majors? Come hear about potential career trajectories from three panelists whose biographies are featured in the recent MAA book, 101 Careers in Mathematics.

Workshop: “Superhuman Counting”5:00 - 6:30 p.m. || Rees-Jones Hall 211

As seen on the FOX show Superhuman: this workshop will get you ready for the “Rectangled” challenge that Professor Gentry solved on TV! In this interactive workshop, you’ll make new friends, warm up with mathematical games, and tackle a combinatorics puzzle that can be productively played with in a number of different ways. The challenge is to count sub-rectangles in an m-by-n grid and in an m-by-n grid with corners cut out. The workshop is for everybody who’s curious: there are no mathematical pre-requisites. If you can count and tally shapes, you can build your own methods for this puzzle.
