From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pi Mu Epsilon (ΠΜΕ or PME) is the U.S. national mathematics honor society.
The society was founded at Syracuse University on May 25, 1914 and currently has chapters at more than 300 institutions across the nation. They co-sponsor a conference with the Mathematical Association of America.
One can become a member of PME if one meets any one of the following requirements:

- Sophomore math majors with at least three semesters of math courses, including calculus, with all A's and an overall ranking in the top 1/4 of their class.
- Graduate students who meet either of the above requirements, and with a B average in math courses over the past year.
- Any faculty member in mathematics.
- Any person who has some special distinction in mathematics (e.g. major math publication of importance, Putnam competition winners).
