Pi Mu Epsilon

Pi Mu Epsilon (PME) is a national mathematics honor society. RPI's chapter (NY Kappa) was founded in 1960. We promote mathematical scholarship and collegiality between math students. We induct new members (upperclassmen and advanced sophomores) every Spring. The national Pi Mu Epsilon organization sponsors a journal and holds an annual mathematics conference for undergraduates

Pi Mu Epsilon is dedicated to the promotion of mathematics and recognition of students who pursue mathematical understanding. Those who wish to be a member of Pi Mu Epsilon must be studying mathematics at some capacity and have completed numerous high-level math courses successfully. Upon induction, each member receives a certificate, year-long subscription to Pi Mu Epsilon's journal, and special chords for graduation. While Pi Mu Epsilon only meets a few times per semester, members are often very active in other student-lead math-oriented organizations at Rensselaer.

Undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty are encouraged to apply. Undergraduate students should have at least two semesters of calculus, two additional math courses, and a B average overall and in their mathematics courses.
