Becky Go 鈥�25, a dual-major in Biomedical Engineering and Applied Scientific Mathematics, previously attended the Spring MAA conference held at Virginia State University.

鈥淚 had tons of fun at the spring MAA conference exploring a new campus, meeting my fellow mathematicians, and immersing myself in applications of mathematics that I had not known about before,鈥� Becky said. 鈥淚 encourage everyone to attend, even if they aren鈥檛 specifically studying math or aren鈥檛 in a STEM-related field. It鈥檚 a great way to learn all about the interesting ways that math is utilized in research and beyond, as well as meet like-minded individuals from beyond our local community.鈥�

Students majoring in Mathematics, Engineering, Education, the sciences, or those who are or are planning to minor or double-major in Mathematics are encouraged to attend. However, the meeting is open to anyone with an interest in math.

鈥淭he MAA MD-DC-VA sectional meetings are a wonderful opportunity for math faculty, students, and enthusiasts from the Maryland, DC, and Virgina region to get together for a weekend of interesting and informative math talks,鈥� said Benjamin Wilson, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Mathematics. 鈥淚t is a small enough conference to feel intimate and be inviting, but big enough to include a variety of topics from high level math scholarship to recreational math topics and topics in math education. I highly recommend anyone at Stevenson that is interested in mathematics take advantage of this opportunity to attend the conference when it is right here on our own campus.鈥�
