The
national mathematics honor society Kappa Mu Epsilon (KME) was formed in 1931, and elected to membership in the Association of
College Honor Societies in 1968. The ECSU chapter (Kappa Mu
Epsilon--Connecticut Beta Chapter) was chartered in 1981.
Members who have excelled in their mathematics studies are initiated
into the society at the annual Spring Initiation Ceremony. New members
are nominated by Mathematics faculty under the following general
guidelines: 3.0 GPA, B or better in each of Abstract Algebra and Real
Analysis I, at least B+ average in higher level Mathematics courses,
Junior or Senior Class standing. In exceptional cases, the Mathematics
faculty may consider modification of these standards.
The
five-fold objective of National KME is:
- to further the
interests of mathematics in those schools which place their primary
emphasis on the undergraduate programs;
- to help the
undergraduate realize the important role that mathematics has played in
the development of western civilization;
- to develop an
appreciation of the power and beauty possessed by mathematics, due,
mainly, to its demand for logical and rigorous modes of thought;
- to provide a
society for the recognition of outstanding achievement in the study of
mathematics at the undergraduate level;
- to disseminate the
knowledge of mathematics and to familiarize the members with the
advances being made in mathematics.
