The National Association of Mathematians' MATHFest is a conference designed to expose undergraduate mathematical science majors from minority serving institutions, primarily HBCUs, to the possibility of attending graduate school and exposing them to career opportunities in the mathematicalsciences. MATHFest 2010 will be at Miami Dade College in Miami, FL on November 18-20. The main goals of the conference are:-- To address the shortage of minority mathematicians by encouraging minority students to get advanced degrees in the mathematical sciences-- Provide role models-- Give the undergraduate students an opportunity to make a presentation-- Familiarize the students with graduate schools-- Make the students aware of career opportunities in the mathematical sciencesTo achieve these goals, MATHFest offers undergraduate presentations, a graduate faculty panel, a graduate student panel, an industrial mathematician panel, and an informal session called spotlight on a mathematician. Among the conference attendants are high achieving students in the mathematical sciences from about a fourth of the HBCUs. Small institution will have proportionally small mathematics programs, leaving mathematics students in an isolated situation on their campuses. Hence, these institutions graduate one or two mathematics majors a year. The conference is a time when students from these schools will see approximately 120 students that are doing the same things and are in similar situations.

全国数学家协会的MATHFest是一个会议，旨在暴露本科数学科学专业的少数民族服务机构，主要是HBCU，参加研究生院的可能性，并暴露他们的职业机会在prosticalsciences。2010年数学节将于11月18日至20日在佛罗里达州迈阿密的迈阿密戴德学院举行。会议的主要目标是：--通过鼓励少数民族学生获得数学科学的高级学位来解决少数民族数学家短缺的问题--提供榜样--给本科生一个演讲的机会--让学生熟悉研究生院--让学生意识到数学科学的职业机会为了实现这些目标，MATHFest提供本科生演讲，研究生教师小组，研究生小组，工业数学家小组和一个非正式会议，称为聚光灯下的数学家。与会者中有来自大约四分之一HBCU的数学科学方面成绩优异的学生。小机构将有比例小的数学课程，使数学学生在校园里处于孤立的境地。因此，这些机构每年毕业一两个数学专业。在这次会议上，来自这些学校的学生将看到大约120名学生正在做同样的事情，并处于类似的情况。
