Estimathon with Jane Street

Teodor Bucht 21:37, 24 Sep 2021

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.

Election for Representative for the Exchange Students

Daniel Nesic 22:57, 8 Sep 2021

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.

Payment for Toga sitting

Otto Grafström 17:04, 8 Sep 2021

Heyo!

Tomorrow during lunch (12:15-13:00 Thursday 9/9) you must pay for the Toga sitting in the Hilbert Corridor in Mattehuset, so don't miss paying if you want to attend the sitting.

We prefer if one person from each group pays for their entire group, so we avoid crowding.

Happy greetings,
Minister for Culture and Reiseleiteriet

Extra election to the Student's Educational Council

Daniel Nesic 15:34, 7 Sep 2021

Hi all guild members!

There are a lot of positions that were left vacant since the last guild assembly and this time we want you to take a closer look at four positions that don't require too much time, but are a lot of fun and are like all positions in the Students’ Educational Council (SEC), very important to the guild. These positions are Member of the Program Board (MPB) of F/Pi/N, Member of the Educational Council (MEC), Representative to the International Affairs Committee of TLTH (RIAC) and representative in a department board.

As a MEC you attend the weekly meetings of SEC where study related problems and opportunities are discussed and you help come up with solutions and ideas to these problems and opportunities. Moreover, you also help with arranging events and in doing so you have great opportunities to use your creativity, adjust how much time you want to spend on the position and really make it what you want it to be.

As a MPB you participate in the meetings of the program board which you are a member of and you act as the link between the program board and the students. In this position you really have the chance to make a difference for yourself and your program. A fresh example would be the restructuring of the F and Pi programs that has recently been done. During this restructuring the student representatives informed the program board about which terms were very hectic and stressful and came up with suggestions on how to adjust the workload during these terms to make it more manageable.

When you are RIAC you make sure that the exchange students feel welcome by arranging events and spreading relevant information. The events that are arranged are both done locally for the guild and for all the guilds that are part of Teknologkåren, this gives you a great amount of flexibility in what kind of events you can make. Also worth mentioning is that the guild has two RIAC, one that is elected during spring term and one that is elected during autumn term. This means that you always have someone to discuss problems regarding your position with and gives the position a good continuity and improves the handover.

Now regarding representatives in the department boards, they generally handle broader topics which affect more programs and might not necessarily be so dear to the heart of students. However, you do get to know the people in the department board quite well which might be good if you want to do a master thesis that is connected to the department in some way. The vacant positions within the department boards right now is an ordinary seat in the department for Biomedical Engineering and substitute seats in the department boards for Biomedical Engineering, Physics, Immunotechnology and Electrical and Information Technology.

So apply for one of these positions by emailing um@fsektionen.se and enrich your studies with a fun and educational avocation.

Kind regards Students´ Educational Council.
