Membership in the Chebucto Community Net Society gives you a vote in how we run Chebucto and offers other benefits as well. Chebucto also provides you with volunteer opportunities to enhance your Internet skills. | ||

Statistics Consulting Service | |
| The Statistics Consulting Service was established in 1974 by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics with the aim of providing professional consultation to researchers and graduate students. We welcome problems both from within Dalhousie University and from the government, business and scientific communities outside Dalhousie. | ||

The Dalhousie University Mathematics Outreach program is run by Richard Nowakowski and Paul Ottaway. | |
| High school workshops
for both teachers and students |
||
| Math
Circles |
||
| The purpose of the Math Circles program is to foster interest in mathematics among talented high school students and expose them to mathematics beyond the high school curriculum. | ||

The Nova Scotia High School Math League |
||
| The Nova Scotia High School Math League is an intiative
run by the Dalhousie University Mathematics and Statistics Department
designed to stimulate and challenge high school students across
the province. The NSML is based on the very successful Newfoundland
Math League which has been running since 1987. The first game was
run in Halifax in 2002 by Richard Hoshino and Sarah McCurdy. Since
then there has been no looking back. At the end of the 2003-2004
season we had approximately 200 participants across three school
boards. It is an excellent venue for students to compete in a friendly manner and learn some mathematics in the process. Over the next years, we anticipate the NSML to expand to include additional school boards and eventually encompass the entire province. |
