Abstract
What does it feel like to be a mathematician? Who are the people who discovered and proved the Weil conjectures (one of the great human achievements of the 20th century)? Are they artists, musicians, or scientists? So, what does it feel like to be a mathematician, really?
 
New Website
We have a new website! One main problem with the previous website was that the menu system was very clunky and not too well-structured, and so much of the navigation was rewritten from the ground up. Do feel free to contact the website maintainer should you have any feedback regarding the website.
 
New Computers

MUMS are very excited to announce the arrival of 2 new widescreen Apple Macs. This means that we now have a total of 3 Macs available for use.

Please feel free to drop by the MUMS room to say hi and use them!

What is MUMS?

The Melbourne University Mathematics and Statistics Society, also known as MUMS, was formed to represent maths and stats students at Melbourne University. We organise a variety of activities, including seminars, trivia competitions, barbecues and of course the annual Puzzle Hunt and Maths Olympics. We also put out our magazine Paradox at regular intervals.

MUMS welcomes anyone else with an interest in maths or stats. If you wish to be notified of our events by email, please subscribe to our mailing list.

MUMS has a room in the Richard Berry Building (the home of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics). It is located on the ground floor, opposite the main reception. This room is mainly used socially, and all are welcome to stop by. The MUMS noticeboard is directly outside the room, and lists our upcoming events and seminars.

MUMS is affiliated to the University of Melbourne Student Union. Support from UMSU and from the Department is gratefully acknowledged.
