Jane Street will be hosting a virtual ESTIMATHON!
Tuesday 5th October 2021 - 17:30-19:00 BST

Hosted via Zoom

Register as an individual* here by Thursday September 30th 23:59 BST.

The Estimathon! is a mind bending mixture of math and trivia. In teams, you'll attempt 13 Fermi problems in 30 minutes, ranging from totally trivial to positively Putnamesque. Be prepared to come up with the best set of confidence intervals! Sample problems include:

How many stop signs are in New York City?
How many babies were born in 1900?
How many Social Security Numbers are prime?

We will also have time at the end of the Estimathon for a live Q&A session with Jane Street Traders, Software Engineers and Recruiters.

Typically when we come to campus, we bring swag. Since we can't meet in-person, we will provide guests access to order one of our 2020 t-shirts! More details will follow on this after the event :)

*Estimathon is a team-based competition. All participants will register as individuals and be placed on a team. But due to the logistics associated with running the event virtually, you cannot sign-up as a team.

During the period 28 September to 7 October, students at Lund University will have opportunities to get vaccinated against Covid-19 at different campus locations in Lund.

Hi all guild members!

The extra election for the Representative to the International Affairs Committee of TLTH (Riac) and the election for Representative for the Exchange Students is now open again, because the previous candidate canceled their application. However, a new candidate for the Representative for the Exchange Students has already been found so this particular election will close again on Saturday night.

Kind regards the Students' Educational Council.

We in the LTH Equality Board from F, W and M have worked day and night to organise an inspiring and relevant guest-lecture during the introduction period!!
And the result is nothing short of amazing: The 28th of September, Peter Rung is coming to the kåraula to talk about macho-culture and norms, with a focus on university-life and young adults. Bring your friends and learn something new about something super important!
NOTE: THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD IN SWEDISH - SORRY!! 🙁
You can ofcourse anyway come if you want: Link to registration form

Detta inlägg är bara på engelska då det främst berör utbytesstudenter.
This post will only be in English since it mainly concerns exchange students.

Hi all guild members!

The Students’ Educational Council is back again with yet another election this time it is the election for Representative for the Exchange Students. Everybody at the guild can apply for this position, but it is strongly recommended that you are an exchange student yourself.

The Representative for the Exchange Students is to make sure that the Students’ Educational Council takes the special study conditions of the exchange students into consideration. The representative also takes part in discussions regarding matters relating to exchange students at the guild and is the contact person between the Students’ Educational Council and the exchange students. The term of this position is one semester. At the moment we have already received a candidate so the election will close in one week.

So if you are interested in the position, hurry up and apply to it by emailing um@fsektionen.se.

Kind regards Students´ Educational Council.
