On Mathematical
Analysis & Applications
Penn State Erie, The Behrend
College has now become an official chapter of the national Mathematics honor
society Pi Mu Epsilon. Pi Mu Epsilon
is open to ANY major. For induction into our chapter, students are required to:
Ø Have completed at least MATH 140 and MATH
141 (Calculus I & II) and two additional courses in mathematics, at or
above the calculus level, all of which lead to the fulfillment of the
requirements for a major in the mathematical sciences
Ø Have maintained a grade point average of at
least 3.00 in all mathematics courses that lead to the fulfillment of the
requirements for a major in the mathematical sciences
Ø Have maintained a grade point average of at
least 3.00 in all courses that lead to the fulfillment of the requirements for
an undergraduate degree
I hold the position of Permanent Faculty
Correspondent and Mr. Peter T. Olszewski, the Chapter
Advisor (pto2@psu.edu).
If you meet the requirements and are interested in becoming a member, please
contact either of us.
We held our inaugural induction ceremony on
10-12-12 at the Logan House - Click here to see the Pamphlet.
