To mathematics education majors: I apologize if you are getting this message for the second time. We want to be sure everyone is notified. The Mathematics Department has scholarships for students at all levels whose first or second major is mathematics. If you have already declared mathematics as a second major, then you are eligible for our scholarships. If you have not, then you will be eligible as soon as you complete the attached major declaration form and return it to MSCS 401. You should be aware that when you complete the requirements for a SCED degree with the mathematics option, you will have completed all requirements for a second major in mathematics. You need only complete the attached form to have the second degree noted on your final transcript. The scholarships require a graduation/retention GPA of 3.25 and a mathematics GPA of 3.5. For consideration you need to complete the attached application and return it with an unofficial transcript to MSCS 401 by March 1, 2009. Successful applicants will be notified in April.

To: Math majors and other interested students: The Math Contest in Modeling will be held this year on the weekend of February 5-9. It is an intensive weekend event in which teams of 3 students work on open-ended, real-world problems and write up a paper describing their solution. Papers can earn awards of Honorable Mention, Meritorious Achievement, or Outstanding Achievement. Teams earning the Outstanding Achievement designation are considered contest winners. Check out our awards case on the fourth floor of Math Sciences--a plaque commemorates the Outstanding Achievement of an OSU team, Mike Oehrtman, Jennifer Williams, and Kevin Yoder! Any students interested in participating should contact me, if you have not already done so. Thanks! --Dr. Mantini *********************************************************** *Lisa Mantini, Ph.D. * *Professor of Mathematics Office: 405.744.5777 * *Oklahoma State University Mobile: 405.742.5045 * *401 Math Sciences Bldg.

second major in mathematics
by Benny Evans 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Math ed majors, Did you know that if you complete the minimum requirements for a Secondary Education degree with the Mathematics option making a grade of C or better in each mathematics course, then you will have completed all requirements for a second major in mathematics? Declaring math as a second major makes you eligible for mathematics scholarship funds. The only thing you have to do in order to have the Second Major in Mathematics appear on your transcript is to complete the attached forms. *declare-math.pdf*: This should be completed and filed now. All you need to do is complete the information at the top of the form and bring it to my office (MSCS 425) for my signature. (If I am not in, you can drop the form off in MSCS 401. ) We will do the rest. **finished.pdf: **This form is to be completed and filed at the beginning of the semester you graduate. Be sure to indicate the appropriate one of STAT 4013 or STAT 4023. If the College of Education has allowed substitutions (for mathematics courses) on your degree plan, then you may still be in a position to receive the Second Major in Mathematics. You can contact me or any mathematics advisor for further information. I would be happy to talk with you at your convenience regarding your future in mathematics. Benny Evans
