calling all mathematicians! we are looking for writers to help us get up and running after a 10 year hiatus! if you are interested in submitting an article, visit thedeltaepsilonmcgill.github.io
to reach the editorial team, contact thedeltaepsilon@gmail.com.
The Delta Epsilon, McGill’s undergraduate mathematics journal, is a student-run publication which allows students at McGill to experience the academic research and publication process. It is put together by a team of undergrads, with the assistance of graduate students as editors. Click on the covers below to read an issue!
The Delta Epsilon was inactive from 2014-2024, but we are aiming to publish again next spring, in 2025.
