Pi Mu Epsilon (ΠΜΕ or PME) is the U.S. honorary national mathematics society.[1]

The society was founded at Syracuse University on May 25, 1914, by Professor Edward Drake Roe, Jr,[2] and currently has chapters at 337 institutions across the nation.[3]

Goals

Pi Mu Epsilon is dedicated to the promotion of mathematics and recognition of students who successfully pursue mathematical understanding.[4] To promote mathematics, the National Pi Mu Epsilon Council co-sponsors an annual conference in conjunction with the Mathematical Association of America.[4]

The society also publishes a semi-annual journal, the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal, which both presents research papers particularly focusing on student authored papers, as well as a problem section.[5]
