Our first general body meeting will be on Friday, January 27 from 4:30pm-5:30pm in MSB 153!
W
e will go over plans and goals for the semester and hold an election for the secretary officer position. After the meeting, we will have a game night from 6:00pm-8:00pm in MSB 113! We hope to see you there! Don’t forget that we also have a LaTeX workshop tomorrow, January 25 from 5:00pm-6:00pm in MSB 110!
I have linked two google forms below: the first is to gather information about when club members will be available to meet in the spring semester. This will allow us to choose a meeting time that works for as many people as possible. Like last semester, we plan to hold meetings sometime in the afternoon on Fridays. In addition, Dr. Robert Jenkins is interested in giving a talk this semester to the club. This form includes an optional question that will help him plan for this presentation.
We are also interested in getting funding from Student Government for the club to travel to the American Mathematical Society Southeastern Sectional Meeting on March 18-19, 2023 at Georgia Tech (in Atlanta). This is a really great opportunity for anyone interested in mathematics research. The purpose of the second form is to gather information from members who are interested in going. This will help us when we approach Student Government for funding early this spring semester. This form does NOT commit you to going if we receive funding. However, if you complete this form and learn that you cannot go, let us know. Be aware that Student Government might not cover some travel/food expenses, and there will likely be a small due to help pay for drivers. We will have more information on this closer to the conference. If you are interested, please try to submit this form ASAP!
Let us know if you have any questions!

The official math department colloquium tea time is as at 10:00am tomorrow and the colloquium is at 11:00am
its happening at GTA lounge room, Room 201
Algebra Seminar: Wednesday 10:30 -11:30 am (currently private, will update when public)
Discrete Seminar: Wednesday 12:30 -1:30
Numerical Seminar: Wednesday 2:00 -3:00
above are the current times for the math department seminars (these are run independently of CMS but may be of interest to many of you).
The purpose is to give info about summer research experience for undergraduates (REU) programs to students interested in doing one this summer, as a few members wanted this.
Join us after our General Body Meeting for a Game Night! Feel free to bring any games to play. It will be held in HEC Rm 356 from 6:00pm-9:00pm.
Dr. Reid will have his next Putnam Competition practice meeting on Thursday, November 17 in MSB 318 at 5:00pm!
Our next general body meeting will be on Friday, November 18 in HS1 119 at 4:30pm! Dr. Barry Griffiths will come in and talk about study abroad, graduate school, and career opportunities in math! He may also cover additional topics depending on the interest of members. We hope to see you there!

Introduction to mathematical logic II: A calculus for propositional logic.
Abstract: This is the first in a series of talks about mathematical logic. We follow the text, *A
Concise Introduction to Mathematical Logic* by Rautenberg. This series will survey the material
covered in the first three chapters. These chapters introduce propositional and first order logic.
After that, the book continues with logic programming and model theory. Then, in Chapter 6,
Rautenberg presents Gödel’s incompleteness theorem. Topics in the first three chapters include
models, Hilbert calculi, completeness, and compactness.
