The PPSC Math Department is delighted to announce that there will be an in-person Mathematics Colloquium this Spring. It is to take place Friday, April 21, 2023 in Room W101 at the Rampart Campus.
Students are encouraged to participate.
“We are planning to publish all the presentations [and] posters physically and virtually through The Paper,” says Ivana Seligova, Associate Professor of mathematics.
The Math Colloquium is considered a High Impact Practice (or HIPs) event, in which students “learn by doing,” according to the PPSC website.
The keynote presenter is Nate Wadman, Computer Networking and Cybersecurity faculty.
If students choose to present- their topic choices may vary, but any math or math applied topics are acceptable. Once the presentation is submitted, PPSC has the right to share the work publicly.
The title of the presentation must be shown to your instructor or the Colloquium committee by April 14. The presentation itself should be emailed by April 17 to HIPS@pikespeak.edu. You can find the presentation template here.
Take this opportunity to share your academic talent with your peers, friends, and family. The Mathematics Colloquium Committee looks forward to seeing your amazing ideas!
