Our Office (MS 337A)
Our office and club room is a super cute space in the Mathematical Sciences building where you can unwind after a long class, hang out with your peers, or study for that test. We will attempt to follow a 9-5 schedule weekdays, during the Fall/Winter semesters of the University of Calgary school year. We do our absolute best to assure we are open as much as possible during these hours, however, please note that our office hours depend on our volunteers and sometimes the office hours may change without notice.

Exam Packages
Being a math club for so long means that you acquire a lot of information over the years. We have an extensive library of questions and solutions for a number of University level math courses.
You may think that old questions aren't a good resource but, what's been taught in math hasn't changed in quite a while.
Questions of the past contain the same methods as the ones seen today in your exams.
SUM-C Scholarship

Discovering
mathematics
The ‘SUM-C Summer Seminar’ is for undergraduate students to practice presentation skills, share something that interests them, and to hear from others interested in math. This is a fantastic way to learn or practice valuable presentation skills in three unique formats which can be put into a CV. Presentations can focus on your research project, or any topic you believe others would be interested in hearing about. You can also use this as an opportunity to prepare for conferences and to build confidence in presenting. Above all, the Seminar is open to all and fun for everyone who enjoys math!
Talks are TBD.
Check back later!
