Tennessee Alpha Chapter of KME
Membership Requirements
KME
is a national mathematics honor society that was founded in 1931. Tennessee Technological
University (then
Tennessee Polytechnic Institute) started its own chapter of KME, the Tennessee
Alpha chapter, in 1941. As
Corresponding Secretary for the Tennessee Alpha chapter of KME, it is my job to
invite qualified individuals at Tennessee
Technological University
to join KME and to induct them into the organization once each year.
If you are currently, or were at one time, a
non-transfer student (undergraduate or graduate) at Tennessee Technological
University, then you must
meet the following two qualifications prior to induction into KME:
- You must have successfully completed at least three
semesters of coursework at Tennessee Technological University either as a
part-time or a full-time student, and rank in the upper 35% of your
class at Tennessee Technological University.
- You must have completed at least three college-level
courses in mathematics at Tennessee Technological University
including at least one semester of calculus at Tennessee
Technological University
(that is, either MATH 1830, MATH 1910, MATH 1920, or MATH 2110) and
attained an average grade of “B” or higher in all mathematics
courses taken at Tennessee Technological
University.
If you are currently, or were at one time, a
transfer student (undergraduate or graduate) at Tennessee Technological
University, then you must
meet the following two qualifications prior to induction into KME:
- You must have successfully completed at least one
semester of coursework at Tennessee Technological University
either as a part-time or a full-time student after having transferred from
another institution, and rank in the upper 35% of your class at Tennessee Technological University.
- You must have completed at least three college-level
courses in mathematics including at least one college-level course in
mathematics at Tennessee Technological University and including at least
one semester of calculus (not necessarily at Tennessee Technological
University) and attained an average grade of “B” or higher
in all mathematics courses taken at Tennessee Technological University.
If you are currently, or were at one time, a faculty
member at Tennessee
Technological University,
then you must have completed at least three college-level courses in
mathematics including at least one semester of calculus prior to
induction into KME.
If you believe that you meet the above qualifications,
please submit a copy of each relevant academic transcript (unofficial copies
are acceptable) to me by February 15, 2008.
I intend to have the next induction ceremony sometime in early-mid
April, 2008. I will personally
verify whether or not an applicant is in the upper 35% of his or her class.
Please note that successful applicants will be asked
to pay a one time only due of $35
($20 for the national due and $15 for the local due). A successful applicant will not be
considered inducted into KME until the full due is paid.
