Student Activities
Research Work with Faculty
The Mathematics Department at UWRF provides an exceptional range of opportunities for students to work closely with professors on research and advanced mathematical study.
- Field trips to mathematics conferences are scheduled several times each year. Students can attend to exchange research results with students and professors from other universities through discussion and formal presentations.
- Senior seminar projects provide students with valuable experiences in problem solving, research, writing reports, and making presentations.
- Advanced statistical study helps prepare students for work in actuarial science and related fields.
- Independent study can be arranged with professors to explore mathematical topics beyond those in the standard curriculum.
Student Organizations
In addition to informal interaction, students at River Falls are involved in local and national mathematical
organizations.
- MAA: Mathematical Association of America - An organization which provides information on mathematical
science careers, inexpensive access to undergraduate mathematics journals, and social interaction with other
mathematics students. For more information contact Dr. Keith Chavey.
- NCTM: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics - River Falls Student Memberships offer
opportunities to attend conferences in mathematics teaching and inexpensive professional journals. For more
information contact Dr. Pamela Katzman.
