Jane Street will be hosting a virtual ESTIMATHON!
Wednesday, 12 May@ 5:00pm BST / 6:00pm CEST

Hosted via Zoom

Register as an individual* here by Friday 7 May

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?

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 2021 t-shirts!

*Estimathon is a team-based competition. Jane Street will create teams after the registration deadline. If participants want to create teams, they can do so, however, we will require individuals to register and confirm their team name.

Now you can find the nomination groups who are doing interviews for the positions elected by the Board here.

The F-guild welcomes all interested to a inspirational talk with Fredrik Hook, Professor in nano- and biophysics at Chalmers.

The talk will talk about his work with diagnostics and vaccination against covid-19 and will be held in swedish.

If you want to see similar talks hosted in english please write to ordf@fsektionen.se so we know there is an interest.

Due to the vacancies left at our guild after the spring guild assembly last week, the Board hereby calls for an extraordinary guild assembly on the 20:th of May at 5:59 PM on Zoom. More information has been provided in the attachment
