Mathematics and Statistics Club

The purpose of this organization is to enrich the academic experience of and support students interested in the study of mathematics and statistics.

Next event: April 18th, 2008 - End of Year Celebration!

From 11:30 am to 2:00 pm, join us in room 796 COE for lunch and speakers. From 11:30 to 1, we'll feature our RIMMES undergraduate research students, who will give short talks about their completed research projects. Then, from 1-2, come see Mrs. Linda Emory, GSU alumnus and former VIP of ING talk about her 50 years of experience in business mathematics.

Linda Baxter Emory graduated from Georgia State University in 1962 with a B.S. in Mathematics, many electives from the School of Actuarial Science, and having passed the first two actuarial examinations. She worked while she was at the University including three years as a Statistical Research Assistant for the Regents of the University System of Georgia pioneering the college admission requirements utilized to this day. In 1969, she became the first female in Georgia to have attained Fellowship in the Society of Actuaries, the second student from Georgia State, and one of some 35 women and 2000 men in the entirety of the United States and Canada. She retired in 2000 as Executive Vice President and Chief Actuary for the North American businesses of ING, a global financial organization. In 2002, she returned to Georgia State and retook some of the mathematics courses she had taken almost 50 years before. Mrs. Emory will share her experiences in the context of the environment in which she operated.
