Halloween Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza

On October 28th, AWM, in conjunction with Math Club, hosted the second annual Halloween Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza! AWM provided the pumpkins and Math Club provided the food. We had a great turnout of undergrads, grad students, faculty, and even some children! Many pumpkins were carved, and much fun was had by all. While carving pumpkins and enjoying the food, we also watched “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” – a Peanuts classic. We look forward to next year and hope to make this a recurring event.

 

Calculus Fight Club

cfc
Please contact Ryan Grove for more information rgrove@clemson.edu

Created in 2015 by Ryan Grove, Calculus Fight Club is taught by students currently enrolled in a MATH1020, MATH1060 or MATH1080 class (as well as PAL leaders for these classes) at Clemson University that volunteer their time to help any students taking these classes prepare for upcoming tests by going over selected problems from previous semesters’ exams on the Monday night of the week of a test.

Calculus Fight Club works closely with the MATH1020, MATH1060 and MATH1080 course coordinators in order to find teachers for each Calculus Fight Club, confirm which material will be relevant to go over for each test, and to get the word out so that students in those classes know about our event.  On average, Calculus Fight Club provides around 400-500 students per event with a chance to spend a night studying calculus with their peers in an environment that is entirely led by their peers.  The current leaders of Calculus Fight Club going into the Spring ’17 semester are (pictured left to right):  Addie Stone (for MATH1020), AJ Miller (for MATH1080), Mary Guest (for MATH1020), Polly Payne (for MATH1060), and Ameilia Casella (for MATH1020).
