Young Mathematicians Conference

本提案为在俄亥俄州立大学每年举办的青年数学家大会（YMC）提供支持，为期三年，第一届会议定于2013年8月9日至11日举行。青年会展示了国家级的数学本科生研究成果，为70名本科生提供了一个场所，在一个真实的研究会议上展示他们的成果，并与他们的同龄人和资深研究人员讨论数学。邀请到青年会是有选择性的，申请是由一组教员评审评估。每次会议都有三次全体会议，由世界一流的研究人员就当前感兴趣的高影响力和创新研究的不同主题进行讨论。青年数学家大会是一个全国性的机会，让聪明的大学生展示他们的研究，收集新的想法和见解。会议的目的是在国家层面上支持数学本科研究社区，作为研究小组的焦点，激发和维持学生寻求和追求具有挑战性的数学研究生课程所必需的热情和动力。导师参与讨论产生研究项目和指导学生，为本科生研究的新方向提供支持和激励。全体会议的讨论很有吸引力，并通过在线视频流传播，向学生、研究人员和公众介绍了令人兴奋的原创数学研究领域。

This proposal provides support for the Young Mathematicians Conference (YMC) to be held at Ohio State University each year for three years, with the first conference scheduled to be held on August 9-11, 2013. The YMC showcases undergraduate research in mathematics at the national level, providing a venue for up to 70 undergraduate students to present their results in an authentic research conference experience and discuss mathematics with their peers and with senior researchers. Invitations to YMC are selective, and applications are evaluated by a panel of faculty referees. Each conference has three plenary talks given by world class researchers on diverse topics of high impact and innovative research of current interest. The Young Mathematicians Conference is a national opportunity for bright undergraduates to present their research, to gather new ideas and insights. The conference aims to support the undergraduate research community in mathematics on the national level, serve as a focal point for research groups, to inspire and sustain the enthusiasm and momentum necessary for students to seek and pursue challenging graduate programs in mathematics. Involvement of mentors into discussions about generating research projects and supervising students provides support and stimulation for new directions in undergraduate research. The plenary talks are engaging, and are disseminated via online video streams, introducing students, researchers, and the general public into exciting and original areas of mathematical research.
