Pi Mu Epsilon Honor Society

Pi Mu Epsilon is a mathematics honors society consisting of chapters at various approved institutions of learning, and affiliate chapters at approved non-academic institutions. The UTA chapter is the Texas Iota chapter. It was chartered in 1975 and was the 191st chapter of the society.

The purpose of the society, as stated in its constitution and by-laws, is to promote scholarly activity in mathematics among students in academic institutions, and among the staffs of qualified non-academic institutions. It aims to do this by:

  • Electing members on an honorary basis according to their proficiency in mathematics
  • Engaging in activities designed to promote the mathematical and scholarly development of its members, and
  • Taking any other measures that will further the purpose stated above.

To become a regular member of the Texas Iota chapter, any the following minimum requirements must be satisfied:

  • Graduate students whose mathematical work is at least equivalent to that required of qualified undergraduates, and who have maintained at least a B average in mathematics during their last school year prior to their election.
  • Members of the faculty in mathematics or related subjects.
