University of Chicago Applied Math Club

About us

The University of Chicago Applied Math Club (UCAMC) is an undergraduate-led club that provides a platform for students interested in applications of mathematics. We host talks and workshops on a variety of topics including finance, economics, computer science, machine learning, physics, statistics, and computational biology. Professors, graduate students, and industry experts have given talks on topics including derivatives markets, game theory, quantum computing, deep learning, and more! Through workshops taught by experienced students, newer students can learn the essentials of a variety of important topics including probability, linear algebra, programming, and statistics. Finally, we are currently hosting a weekly study group for the Putnam Exam. This study group is geared towards students in applied mathematics, without prior competitive mathematics experience, that want to learn how to prepare for one of the most well-renowned and difficult mathematics examinations in the world.

This week's lecture

Week 1

Ryan Speiler, "Topological Physics"
Week 1
Abstract. For our opening talk of the quarter, Ryan Speiler will be discussing topological physics and soft matter! The talk will be at the cutting-edge intersection of algebra, topology, and physics! ABSTRACT COMING! Ryan is a Physics graduate student at UT Austin, and was an active member of UCAMC as an undergraduate at UChicago. He stayed in Coulter house throughout his 4 years, and was an incredible mentor to countless math and physics undergraduates, including some of our board members. If you would like to learn more about grad school - both applying and the experience itself - Ryan will share some incredible advice!
