Join today, and become a member of a fun club united by a love of math. Whether listening to a presentation about the next big thing in math, participating in club math competitions, or enjoying pizza with your fellow math enthusiasts, meetings are a fun time with little extra commitment onto already busy schedules.

Next Meeting

Our next meeting will be Monday, March 18th, 2024. Dr. James Kowalski will be giving a fascinating lecture on game theory, the abstract for which is below.

Problems of the Week

Problems:
  1. If three primes less than 30 are selected at random, what is the probability that their sum is even?
  2. Consider the set Z/qZ = {0, 1, …, q-1}, consisting of the first q natural numbers starting at 0. A number a in Z/qZ has a multiplicative inverse in Z/qZ if there is some b such that ab = ba = nq+1 for some natural number n–that is, if ab is congruent to 1 mod q. Prove that a number n in Z/qZ has a multiplicative inverse if and only if the greatest common denominator of n and q is 1, i.e. they share no factors in common.
