Shenandoah Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Conference
at James Madison University
Saturday, October 18, 2008
| SUMS at JMU
is an annual one day conference promoting
undergraduate research in mathematics, statistics, and their
applications. The
conference will feature contributed undergraduate
research talks, invited talks aimed at a general undergraduate math
audience, a poster session, a graduate school and math careers panel,
and a math competition workshop for high school students. Anyone
who has done original research in
mathematics
or statistics
while an undergraduate is invited to contribute a 15 minute
talk about his or her research. Undergraduate and high school students
are invited to present research or expository posters on any
mathematical
topic. Registration is free and open to the mathematical community, including undergraduate, high school, and graduate math students, high school math teachers, and faculty. The general registration deadline is October 3. After October 3, registration is still open, but free lunch is not guaranteed, acceptance of talks is contingent on space considerations, and abstracts of talks and posters may not be printed in the program. To register, please follow the sidebar link. The registration form contains directions for how to submit an abstract for an undergraduate research talk or for a poster. Modest travel support is available. To apply for travel funds, follow the sidebar link to the travel support application. Support for this conference is provided by National Science Foundation grant DMS-0536991 through the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conferences program. Additional support is provided by the College of Science and Mathematics at James Madison University, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at JMU, the Office of the Special Assistant to the President for Diversity at JMU, Pi Mu Epsilon, the Math Club at JMU, and James Madison University. |
