Our student groups form a vibrant, supportive environment of undergraduate and graduate students who share a common interest in applied mathematics.
The goals of the Applied Mathematics Departmental Undergraduate Group (AMDUG) are to bring together Brown students who have a common interest in Applied Mathematics. The goal of the AMDUG is to share resources and talent, develop relationships with faculty and each other, and organize lectures and inspiring events. Since Applied Mathematics is inherently cross disciplinary, the AMDUG welcomes students from all concentrations which involve some aspect of a mathematical nature. It is hoped that by developing and nurturing a vibrant community of students with diverse interests, unified by mathematics, the Brown undergraduate experience will be made much richer and more fulfilling. If you have any questions, please contact apmadug@brown.edu. The AMDUG leadership team includes:
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) chapter at the Division of Applied Mathematics was founded in the Fall of 2013. Founded in 1971, AWM promotes equitable opportunity and gender-inclusivity across the mathematical sciences. Membership in the AWM chapter is open to all. An important goal of Brown's Chapter of AWM is fulfilled through sponsoring special events and workshops which gather mathematicians from diverse backgrounds so they can support each other’s shared academic, intellectual, and career goals in a nurturing and inspirational environment. All individuals are welcome to participate in events run by the AWM chapter at Brown.
The Directed Reading Program (DRP) is a one-on-one mathematics mentoring program that allows undergraduates to work on semester-long independent reading projects under the guidance of graduate students. The first DRP was founded by two graduate students at the University of Chicago in 2003 and has now spread to over a dozen institutions across the United States.
The Rose Whelan Society is a group aimed at creating community among graduate students, postdocs, and faculty by discussing topics and participating in activities of common interest in the fields of Math and Applied Math at Brown, especially relating to promoting the success of women and gender minorities.The Society organizes social activities (i.e. group lunches, wine and cheese events at ICERM), as well as career-oriented events (i.e. postdoc and job panels) and outreach activities for undergraduate students (i.e. finals prep study sessions). The group is named after the first person to obtain a Ph.D. in Mathematics at Brown. All individuals are welcome to join and participate in the Rose Whelan Society.
The purpose of the Brown SIAM Student Chapter, established in October 2015, is to build community and active connections across disciplines and among graduate and undergraduate students who use applied mathematics. Intended events include academic tutorials, movie and game nights, company visits, and job panels. The Chapter also organizes the Brown Mathematical Contest for Modeling (BMCM) for undergraduate students.
