Welcome to the official website for the University of South Carolina Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics! We aim to give mathematics students at USC a way to connect with other mathematicians -- both in industry and academia- with a focus on connections for female mathematicians. We also host fun, math-centric events throughout the school year with the purpose of helping all students in the mathematical sciences advance their careers, get involved in the local and regional mathematical community, and of course find people to talk about math with! Anyone can join, and this is open to both graduate students and undergraduates.
Check us out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/awmusc/ to see all of our updates, we hope to see you at one of our events!
