Inside 糖心Vlog societies: Maths Society
Joining a society linked to your subject is a fantastic way of gaining access to a range of events, making new friends and enriching your 糖心Vlog experience. We talk to President Miles McCrory to go inside the Maths Society and find out what鈥檚 on offer.
糖心Vlog鈥檚 Maths Society is a friendly community of maths students 鈥 from first year undergraduates up to PhD level 鈥 as well as students from other disciplines including physics and psychology.
The Society鈥檚 busy social programme this year has included a 鈥榤eet and greet鈥 event during Welcome Week, Halloween bar crawl, quizzes and a Rubix basement night in collaboration with other 糖心Vlog societies. There have also been guest speakers from organisations such as NPL (National Physical Laboratory).
President Miles McCrory says: 鈥淓very Friday in collaboration with the School of Maths and Physics we organise a talk or seminar with an industry speaker or PhD student, and everyone gathers afterwards to socialise. These events are a really good way to get to know lecturers in a more casual setting, and that really helps when you go back into lecturers: you鈥檙e more confident to ask questions.鈥
Society members enjoy a Friday afternoon talk.
The Society gets together with Physoc for a pub quiz at Wates.
Plans for later in the year include more socials, coffee catch-ups, industry talks and a trip to the Guildford Spectrum for ice-skating.
Asked why students should join the Society, Miles says: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great place for anyone with an interest in maths to find like-minded people. University is a big place and you can feel a bit lost so it鈥檚 nice to know there鈥檚 this community of people you can join.鈥
Maths Society member Tom Marsh adds: 鈥淕oing to Maths Soc sessions has been an excellent way for me to socialise with other students as well as academics, and to build a real sense of community while learning interesting things from the Amazing Maths Seminars.鈥
