Ideas for mathematics club

459 Views Asked by At

I am planing to suggest founding Mathematics Club in next fall.

Here is my attempt for first prototype:

-Sources: films(such as Dimensions), interactive stimulation for some mathematical ideas(like game of life), dynamical bibliography[Suggested reading](an expandable bibliography,Anyone can add to it), tricks guide(an expandable guide, anyone can add nice trick that helped him).

-Activities: meeting Theorem of the week(weekly), translate an expository article and publish it in University newspaper(monthly), Launch party.

  • Any other ideas, or improvements?
  • Creating a club does worth the effort ? , or Should I drop the whole idea ?

Notes:

  1. -There is no clubs in mathematics department.
  2. -There are few students specialised in mathematics comparing to other departments, such as electrical engineering(So, most of the burden on me).
  3. -I apologize for my bad english(I'd appreciate any editing)

There are several mathematics clubs in former Soviet Union, e.g.:

'Omega' (http://mathclub.bspu.unibel.by/?page_id=29) in Minsk, Belarus,

'da Vinci' (http://mmf.enu.kz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=137&Itemid=143&lang=ru) in Kazakhstan.

Maybe it would be useful to contact with them and to change by ideas.

Unfortunately, their sites as a rule are in Russian. But I think you can find in your country Russian mathematicians which help in translation.
