UCSC Competitive Math Team is Searching for Officers and Student Recruits!
The UCSC Competitive Math Team is currently looking for aspiring mathematicians to compete in the 2021 Putnam Competition. We are searching for alumni or faculty members to assist students in weekly meetings. We are also in need of a few more officers to help lead study sessions about once a week. Students of all skill levels of mathematics are welcome to join the team. Alumni of UCSC with a focus on mathematics or computer science are encouraged to join as well.
We will have weekly meetings every Saturday from 12-1pm PST on the team's Discord server.
Feel free to join the server to collaborate or simply hang out with your cohort of like-minded peers! If you are interested in volunteering as an officer/director of education or have any questions, please contact Chris at ctoukmaj@ucsc.edu or pm him in the server. As always, your participation is greatly appreciated!
