  The Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Seminar is designed to introduce UW
undergraduates to research and career opportunities in
the mathematical sciences. The seminar is open to all undergraduates at the
University of Washington who have completed a calculus
sequence. It is also advisable that students have some familiarity with
differential equations and linear algebra.

  Why should you consider enrolling in this seminar?

      * Have you ever wondered what you could do what opportunities in
academia and industry are available to those with a mathematical
sciences degrees?
      * Are you interested in learning more about a variety of research from

audience?
      * Do you need one more unit to meet the minimum course load
requirement?

  What happens in this seminar?

  Speakers will represent a variety of fields where mathematical sciences are
used in research. Past topics come from diverse fields including:
cryptography, computer graphics, bioengineering, actuarial studies, and
more! Each speaker will describe the work they do, why it's interesting and
how they use mathematical sciences in what they do each day. To see a list
