The faculty of the
Department of Mathematics want to share their enthusiasm for mathematics with
others. A major part of our efforts to reach out to the citizens of Nebraska is the
Speakers Bureau. In its second year, the Bureau makes available presentations on a
variety of topics at different levels of mathematical content. If your organizations
are looking for interesting, informative programs, why not try one of the presentations
listed below?
For your convenience, telephone numbers are given for each
speaker. If you have a general question about the Bureau, you can call the
departmental secretary at 402-554-3430.
