Northfield Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium (NUMS)
Each year Carleton and St. Olaf students work on a variety of interesting research problems in mathematics, both here in Northfield and around the country. Several of these students will be sharing the work they did this past summer at the 2024 Northfield Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium.
