Sum-thing Special: OSU High School Math Day fosters community of learning
For over 10 years, Oklahoma State University’s Department of Mathematics has hosted High School Math Day, welcoming nearly 200 students annually from schools across the region to Stillwater’s campus. “Math is an incredibly useful and exciting way to understand the world,” said Dr. Jeff Mermin, associate professor of mathematics and High School Math Day coordinator. “Too often, classroom math feels like memorizing formulas, but step outside that standard curriculum and there’s so much to discover.”
