If you have been wondering about what has happened to Lee Prime – Lee University’s Math Club – you are not alone.

No matter the case, if you are a Mathematics major, a student taking any mathematics course or you are just interested in mathematics and a mathematics Club, then a new day has come, hope is renewed.

“Lee Prime was created initially about five or six years ago to give camaraderie among people who are studying math under my direction” said Dr. Ronald Merritt, associate professor of mathematics who is also the adviser of the club.

He had a lot to say when asked about issues concerning the club.

He attributed the passivity of the club to his busy academic schedules this year.

In his words, he said this year has been really hard on him and he just decided to do something for the club which he decides would be to take the club members to a space museum.

The math club will be going on a one –day trip to the Space Museum in Huntsville, Alabama known as Davidson Space Museum.

“During this trip, we will have lots of interconnection, relationships get built, people learn more about each other and all kinds of things I guess, but it’s a little different because it is a day trip, we will be leaving early and coming back probably later in the evening, it’s not like the ones we went to where we spent four to five days like last year” Merritt said.

He plans to use the trip to bring back the math club and when asked about his plans for sustenance of the club, he said he will be transferring the reins of leadership to Dr. Boulis who he believes will be a very excellent adviser for the club and will be able to sustain the club.

The choice of a space museum is prompted by cost, among other things. He said he would have loved to take the students to either Kennedy Space Center or Houston Space Center in Texas but he cannot because of the expenses involved.

His advice for all students who are involved in mathematics in one way or the other is that they should all go on the trip since the trip is open to all students who are interested in it.

He said students will benefit a great deal from the trip as the trip will dispel them of the notion that people that studies mathematics end up being in the teaching profession.

He finally advised that students should take advantage of the trip as it costs the sum of fifty dollars. Twenty five dollars of the money is for ticket to gain entrance into the museum and the remaining twenty five dollars would be for feeding.

“We will take care of the transportation costs, and if you prefer to drive there on your own, we will refund whatever you spend on gas” he said.
