Temple Math Club is an active and 4 Star student club, which organizes weekly events on Fridays 4:00 PM to 5 PM (currently the meeting room is Wachman Hall 617).

We invite speakers on various mathematics and applied science fields, that could inspire our math, science, engineering majors and all other math enthusiasts. Sometimes we organize events outside campus, such as watching Math/Science movies.

Club officers are:

• Angeli Nause
• Sabrina Harris
• Hershey Pete
• Mark Mikida
• Anthony Wanichko

• Dr. Abraham Abebe

• Prof. Maria Lorenz

The idea of an infinitely small quantity (an infinitesimal) goes back at least to Archimedes' studies of circles and their approximating polygons. Many people studying localizable questions of change have attempted to apply the idea that they could zoom all the way in to the infinitely small moment of change.

Of course, we are all familiar with the standard $\epsilon$, $N$, $\delta$ conception of limits that addresses these issues. We use limits because they answer those questions about continually improving approximations and avoid the contradictions of trying to use infinitely large or infinitely small quantities in ordinary calculations.

Efforts in the last 100 years have put a firmer foundation under the concept of an infinitesimal quantity. These efforts allow us to do some computations with these quantities without fear of contradiction. We will see some details of the different axiomatic frameworks and explore some applications.
