As stated at the Pi Mu Epsilon home page (http://www.pme-math.org/),
Pi Mu Epsilon, Inc (PME), is the Honorary National Mathematics Society.
It was founded on May 25, 1914 at Syracuse University and currently has over 300
chapters at colleges and universities throughout the United States.
The purpose of PME is the promotion of scholarly activity in mathematics among
the students in academic institutions.
The chapter at UMass Lowell (the Massachusetts Delta chapter)
was established in 1978. Prof. Virginia Taylor was the faculty advisor for many
years. When she retired, the chapter became inactive. Our chapter was recently
reactivated by PME Council member Brigitte Servatius, Professor of Mathematical
Sciences at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, who inducted eleven new student
members.
