Welcome to

BU's Astronomy, Mathematics & Physics Society!

WHAT IS AMPS?


Do you like stargazing? Have a passion for recreational mathematics or physics? Want to connect with others that have similar interests?

Look no further than the Astronomy, Mathematics & Physics Society (AMPS) right here at Bishop's University! We are always looking for members to join our group. Despite the club’s name, you do not need to major in math or physics! We welcome anyone interested in meeting others that enjoy astronomy, mathematics and/or physics.

Some of the many activities we have done or are planning on doing include: Using the BU Observatory for night sky viewings, holding math and physics related social events, attending talks and workshops, and maybe even building a rover! Here are some events and projects that are currently underway!

Check out our social media to be up to date with club meetings and events!

See below if you are interested in joining as a member!

OUR MISSION


The purpose of the club is to encourage its members in their study of astronomy, mathematics and physics. Community and discovery being core values here at Bishop's, this club offers students the opportunity to socialize while gaining astronomy, math and physics related knowledge outside the regular curriculum. We hold events, attend talks, and put our observatory to some good use.

Our constitution is publicly available here.
