A living collection of activities grouped into four tracks. Filter by track, or jump directly to a specific activity using the anchors.
Activities focused on reading, understanding, and communicating mathematics in written form.
The NAMSSN UI Student Bulletin is a home for expository notes, problem write-ups, essays, and interviews — curated by the NAMSSN Press team and typeset with LaTeX so that students can practise clear mathematical writing.
Activities focused on doing mathematics: solving problems, writing code, typesetting, and making art.
Use the online problem hub to explore carefully chosen problems and student submissions. Problems can be searched by title or keyword, filtered by topic (analysis, combinatorics, special functions, ODE–Bee, and more), and sorted by recency or votes. Each problem has its own discussion page where students share full solutions, alternative approaches, and comments.
Learn tools such as Python, SageMath, Maple, Mathematica, and Manim together. Use the coding labs to support number theory, combinatorics, visualisation projects, and experiments for UI courses.
LaTeX clinics and the LaTeX Lab help students write mathematics cleanly. Each participant completes a mini project such as a typed solution sheet or short exposition linked to a UI course.
Explore the intersection of mathematics and creativity: geometric art, origami constructions, fractal images, algebra diagrams, and symmetry patterns collected in the Math-art gallery.
Support and participate in the ODE–Integration Bee and related contests. Build tradition, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a friendly competitive environment.
Activities that connect students to people: researchers, classmates, school pupils, and other departments.
Invite Nigerian mathematicians abroad or international researchers to give 30–40 minute Zoom talks. Prepare questions and engage in discussion afterwards.
Watch mathematics-related films and documentaries together and discuss their themes: creativity, proof, collaboration, struggle, and the human side of mathematics.
Organise visits to local schools to give accessible math talks and small problem sessions. Build confidence and serve as role models for younger students.
Team up with physics, computer science, statistics, or engineering students for joint sessions, showing how mathematics interacts with real-world and theoretical problems.
Activities that help students understand where mathematics can take them after graduation.
Invite alumni or lecturers to speak about careers in academia, data science, finance, and teaching. NAMSSN Press can capture highlights and reflections so students can revisit key advice later.
