Student Clubs and Outreach
Mathematical Sciences houses two lively student-based organizations that are actively involved in numerous community-oriented activities - the student chapter of SIAM, Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), and the Math Club.
Math majors have access to the math library (SCEN 349), full of hundreds of new, general interest books on a wide variety of mathematical topics, by using their University ID. Using their ID may also give them access to the math study area in SCEN 350 and the math computer lab in SCEN 320.
The Math Club is a University student-based organization that works closely with the Department of Mathematical Sciences in event planning and host the occasional guest lecturer. Their events can also be found on our events page.
Membership is open to all students.
More information can be found on their website: https://hogsync.uark.edu/organization/pi-mu-epsilon
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is a faculty-led chapter. Details and meeting times are posted on https://kaman.uark.edu/siam/
Membership is open to all students.
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is a student chapter established to
promote
- an increased knowledge of and greater interest in the mathematical sciences, including pure and applied mathematics, statistics, and their applications and
- a greater understanding of the contributions of women in the mathematical sciences.
Membership is open to all students.
Details are listed on the AWM HogSync page
National Science Foundation Undergraduate Research Experience (REU) Programs
The National Science Foundation has partnered with schools across the US to provide
career and learning experiences for undergraduates in their fields of interest. For

A chance to study abroad is a wonderful opportunity for academic and cultural enrichment. Requirements for the mathematics major are flexible so that students should be able to arrange a semester or year abroad during their undergraduate career. Students who are planning to go to graduate school will find that reading knowledge of a language, typically French, German, or Russian, is useful and a semester abroad is an excellent opportunity to develop facility with a language.
There are two excellent international programs that specialize in mathematics.
Mathematics students with an interest in study abroad should meet with their mathematics adviser to learn more about opportunities. Students may find additional information at the office of study abroad and international exchange (studyabroad.uark.edu/).
