We help math enthusiasts at Brown form a cohesive community and sponsor events that help to get more people interested in math. The Math DUG also hosts the annual SUMS conference in the spring, an opportunity for undergraduates at Brown and from all around the Northeast to present mathematical research they've done.

Membership
Anybody can be a part of the Math DUG, including those students who are not concentrating in math or not taking math classes. If you think you might like math, come to some of our events! Our weekly tea/cookies (Fridays at 4pm in Kassar House) are a great time to meet other lovers of math. Our seminars offer some math enrichment and are another fun way to meet people.
- If you have any questions, please reach out to us at MathDUG@brown.edu.
- For information regarding the SUMS conference, email sums@brown.edu.

DUG Listserv
The DUG maintains an active listserv, where we post announcements of DUG events, math-related research and employment opportunities, and much more. You can sign up to receive DUG emails on the Brown Listserv Website.
Officers
Being a Math DUG officer is a volunteer position, though we do expect a certain level of commitment for the year once you've decided to be an officer. Under extraordinary circumstances, there might be a need for formal elections, but everything has worked smoothly this way for many years. So for now, if you're interested in being a Math DUG officer, just contact us at MathDUG@brown.edu and we'll find a way for you to help out!
Symposium for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (SUMS)
SUMS has been held annually since 2002. Our goal is to foster greater undergraduate interest and scholarship in mathematics by demonstrating the ubiquity of mathematics throughout the sciences. We also aim to provide an environment in which motivated undergraduates can come together to share their own work and learn from distinguished faculty and researchers from around the country.
