Taggart via Mathmajors) Date: Fri Mar 29 15:30:53 2024 Subject: [Mathmajors] Math Major Study Hall Message-ID: <1DE641C0-C8ED-4AAB-A2DD-1F0FD83C8B3C@math.washington.edu> Dear Math and ACMS Majors: Many people think of math as a solitary activity but in fact much of mathematics is done through collaboration and discussion with other mathematicians. Even if you?ve always studied alone, you may find it helpful to form study groups and talk through the material you?re encountering in your upper-division courses. With that in mind, the Math Department is pleased to announce the continuation of the Math Major Study Hall in Spring 2024. The MMSH will include in-person hours in the Math Library (PDL C-306) and its own discord server. The discord server is here: https://discord.gg/HhAvzErT. Please join and have a look around. We?ll have the table reserved, M-F 1-5 pm, with TAs there during the following times: Monday: 1-5 Tafari Tuesday: 1-5 Leo + 3:30-5 Ignacio Thursday: 1-2:30 Daniel, 2:30-5 Ignacio Friday: 1-5 Meng + 2:30-5 Daniel Graduate TAs will be on hand during these hours to chat and give some mathematical guidance. They will also be monitoring the MMSH discord server regularly. Even when TAs aren?t around, we encourage our majors to utilize the Math Library in PDL C-306 as a place to study, alone or in groups, and participate in the culture of the math department. Best of luck this quarter.
