What is Pi Mu Epsilon?

Pi Mu Epsilon is a national honorary mathematics society whose purpose, to quote from its Constitution, "is the promotion of scholarly activity in mathematics among students in academic institutions... ." To achieve this goal, chapters of Pi Mu Epsilon have been established at various academic institutions, including here at Villanova University. Each chapter is designated by the state in which it is located and by a Greek letter assigned chronologically. Thus, ours is the Pennsylvania Iota Chapter. Chapters elect members based on proficiency in mathematics, the minimum requirements being the completion of two years of college level mathematics courses with honorable grades and a ranking in the top one-third of one's class in overall college work. Since 1985, well over two hundred Villanova mathematics majors have become members of Pi Mu Epsilon.
