The Emory & Henry Math Club is an organization geared toward letting students and faculty explore mathematics that is not typically taught in the classroom. The meetings provide a relaxed environment in which you get to collaborate with others to solve interesting questions. Besides doing math, the math club also aims to provide critical information about what one can do with a math major. This includes discussions about jobs in industry and education as well as graduate school. If you are interesting in any of these topics, the math club is right for you!

If you are interested in digging deeper into mathematics beyond a standard curriculum, then you may also be interested in an undergraduate research opportunities. You can get connected with a math faculty member to learn what research in mathematics looks like and then explore topics that no one has ever explored. The benefits of undergraduate research include: experience in doing original research (which is important for those wanting to pursue graduate school), publishing papers, and presenting at conferences. All of these outcomes are great for your resume! Recent topics have been studying Egyptian Fractions (how Egyptians used fractions 5000 years ago), modelling native salamander habitats, and studying the racial bias in minor league baseball salaries.
