The Seventh Annual UNCG Regional Mathematics & Statistics Conference

联合国儿童基金会区域数学和统计会议的主要目标是为促进数学和统计领域的教育和研究提供一个场所，专门为本科生和研究生提供展示其研究成果的场所，并使各级学生能够相互交流和相互学习。我们的会议始于2005年的年度本科生会议，并从2009年开始扩大到研究生研究人员。会议现在已经建立了一个传统，吸引活跃的学生研究人员和他们的教师导师来自北卡罗莱纳州和弗吉尼亚州。在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，我们希望吸引来自整个东南大西洋地区的不同群体的参与者。学生之间以及学生和教师之间的个人互动机会是我们会议的一个标志。这些互动加强了研究基础设施，对（学生）研究的成功和培养新一代数学家和统计学家至关重要。此外，特别鼓励目前在数学研究中代表性不足的妇女和少数民族参加会议，过去来自这些代表性不足群体的学生约占支持参与者的一半。

The main goal of the UNCG Regional Mathematics and Statistics Conference is to provide a venue for promoting education and research in the field of mathematics and statistics specifically tailored for undergraduate and graduate students to present results of their research and to allow students of all levels to interact with and learn from each other. Our conference has started as an annual undergraduate student conference 2005 and expanded to include graduate researchers since 2009. The conference has now established a tradition of attracting active student researchers and their faculty mentors from the North Carolina and Virginia. With the support of NSF, we hope to attract diverse group of participants from the whole Southeastern Atlantic region.The opportunity for personal interaction among students and between students and faculty is a hallmark of our conference. These interactions enhance the research infrastructure and are essential for the success of (student) research and for training a new generation of mathematicians and statisticians. Moreover, women and minorities currently underrepresented in mathematical research are especially encouraged to participate in the conference and in the past students from these underrepresented groups accounted for about half of the supported participants.
