MUS in Europe: Math in England is FULL
*This trip is now full.*
Dr. Steve Gadbois will lead the 2025 MUS in Europe trip Math in England from May 26 to June 5.
Priority will be given to current juniors, then to current sophomores. Interested students must let Dr. Gadbois know now (even those who did so back in September). Later this fall, families of interested students will get another notice and be given the opportunity to make their deposit.
The itinerary will include stops in London, Greenwich, Cambridge, Bletchley, and Oxford, on the trail of historical sites and figures related to mathematics.
