Vol. 10 No 5 - Pi Mu Epsilon

Editor's NoteThe Pi Mu Epsilon Journal was founded in 1949 and is dedicated toundergraduate and beginning graduate students interested in mathematics. Allsubmissions to the Journal should be directed toward this group.Undergraduate and beginning graduate students are urged to submitpapers to the Journal for consideration for publication. Student papers are giventop priority. Expository articles by professionals in all areas of mathematics arealso welcome. Some priority areas are listed in the Editorial (p. 352) in the Fall1996 issue of the Journal.

Students are invited to give talks inthe fields of mathematics, statistics, operations research,and computing. In October, mathematics departments inthe region will receive detailed information on theconference, registration forms for students talks, andregistration forms for attendance at the conference. Markyour calendars and encourage your students to come, togive a talk, or just to listen to some interesting talks byothers and to socialize with students and faculty frommany other institutions.For further information, contact:Doris SchattschneiderMoravian College, 1200 Main St., Bethlehem, PA 18018-6650email: schattdo @ moravian.edutel (610) 861 1373 fax (610) 861 1462
