After two great seasons, the MATH HOUR at University of Washington for middle and junior high school students is starting again in the Spring. Our first talk will be given by Professor Jon Brundan from the University of Oregon. You can find the abstract for the talk and other information on the UW’s website.

Seattle-area middle- and junior high-school students are invited to participate in the Monthly Math Hour on the University of Washington’s beautiful campus during the Spring of 2012. The Monthly Math Hour at the UW is a series of talks that will take place from 1-2pm on Sunday afternoons to introduce students to the beautiful and exciting world of mathematics. The lectures are given completely FREE of charge in Savery Hall.

Well-behaved parents, coaches, and teachers are also welcome to attend with the permission of their children. Siblings are free to join in, too.

There will be time for questions and further discussion after the talk.
