Mathematics and Statistics Student Seminars (MASSS)
The Mathematics and Statistics Student Seminar series is a forum for undergraduates to present talks on topics of general interest in mathematics and statistics. These seminars are at Noon in room 2517 in the Noyce Science Center (unless otherwise noted) and are open to everyone in the Grinnell College community. Each seminar is typically a talk of forty to sixty minutes, including questions from the audience. The faculty sponsor and organizer of the Mathematics and Statistics Student Seminar series is currently Professor Chris French.
