Description |
| Mathematics and Computer Science Colloquium Series | About once a month we invite a speaker to enlighten us on a topic of their interest! The link will take you to the Colloquium website where you can see future and past presentation topics and speakers. For more information contact Dr. Lunsford or Dr. Shoenthal. |
| The Pi Mu Epsilon Problem of the Month | Each month we pose a problem for all to solve. The link will show you past problems and those who solved the problem. Try it, you might like it! For more information contact Dr. Lunsford, Dr. Poplin, or Dr. Shoenthal. |
| The Computer Science Problem of the Month | Each we post a computer science problem for all to solve. The link will show you past problems and those who solved the problem. Try it, you might like it! For more information contact Dr. Marmorstein. |
| The CS Newsletter | Approximately once a year Dr. Webber composes a newsletter which is sent to CS alumni. Didn't get one? Then contact us to get on our mailing list! |
| The Virginia Piedmont Council of Teachers of Mathematics (PCTM) Conference | Each year Longwood University hosts this conference. PCTM primarily serves the counties of Amelia, Appomattox, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Lunenburg, Nottoway, Powahattan, and Prince Edward. For more information contact Dr. Emerson-Stonnell. |
| The COMAP Mathematical Modeling Competition | Each year we aim to field at least one team in the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications Contest in Mathematical Modeling Competition. The link will take you to information about the competition and how our teams have fared. Contact Dr. Lunsford if you are interested in participating. |
| The Virginia Tech Regional Mathematics Competition |
Each year, Virginia Tech sponsors a regional mathematics competition. Over 130 colleges and universities in Virginia and surrounding states compete for prizes and glory. Contact Dr. Shoenthal if you are interested in participating. |
| The ACM Programming Contest | Each year Longwood competes in the Association for Computing Machinery's Programming Contest. Please contact Dr. Marmorstein for more information about this contest. |
| The Problem Solving Competition |
Each month a mathematics-focused problem, typically at the Calculus 1 level or higher, appears. The Longwood student with the most correct solutions in a school year is eligible to compete in the US National Collegiate Mathematics Championship, held at MathFest. Contact Dr. Shoenthal for more information. |
