What We Do

SUMS, a UC San Diego student organization, provides resources, workshops, talks, and social events for UCSD’s mathematics community with the goal of promoting mathematics and related fields.

Academic Workshops

We host many academic workshops throughout the year. These include upper-division workshops aimed at underclassmen so that they may get a feel for upper-division coursework and what courses to take. Furthermore, based on board member discretion we host workshops for specific courses. Past courses have included the MATH 31H series and MATH 20E. We also host workshops on research opportunities and math software such as LaTeX.

Social Events

We host social events such as board game nights, movie nights, study jams, and de-stress events. These help to promote connection in the mathematics community here at UCSD! Additionally, we also host our annual Pi Day Jeopardy and Integration Bees. Most events will come with snacks and food.

Lightning Talks

Any UCSD affiliate is free to give a lightning talk on any math-related topic that they find interesting. We will take care of the publicity and securing a room, you just need to show up! If you would like to give a talk please fill out the form here .
