Fall 2011 Activities
Members of the Math
Club travel to the Joint Mathematics Meeting of the American
Mathematical Society (AMS), the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), and the Society
for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) each January. The Mathematics Department
and the Associated Students of CSU offer travel support, and the club raises additional
funds. In Fall 2011, Steve Benoit and Hilary Freeman led the club in a project to build
a trebuchet. The club will present a poster at the meetings on optimization problems
involving trebuchets as part of calculus courses, and was awarded a travel grant from the
MAA.
