Young Mathematicians Conference

该奖项支持在三年内每年在俄亥俄州立大学举行的青年数学家会议(YMC)。YMC为本科生提供了一个展示和传播他们研究成果的场所，与他们的同龄人和资深研究人员讨论数学，并获得对他们成就的认真认可。除了传播本科生数学研究活动和促进思想交流外，YMC的另一项主要任务是激励和鼓励学生，特别是女性和传统上代表人数较少的群体，将数学作为一种职业。每年7月，学生研究人员提交他们研究项目的摘要，然后由40至70名教师评审员组成的评审团对摘要进行评判和排名；排名最靠前的学生及其导师被邀请参加YMC。会议在8月的一个周末举行，从周五中午到周日中午。除了学生演讲(大约45场，分三次平行举行)和一次海报会议外，还有三场由世界级数学家举办的全体讲座，旨在向学生介绍与当前感兴趣的高影响力创新研究有关的主题；他们的演讲视频发布在网上。来自大约七个研究生院的代表将于周五晚上自我介绍并介绍他们的系。周日上午举行了研究生院迎新活动，研究生代表回答学生的问题。同样在周日上午，还有导师早餐会，导师们在会上交流关于本科生研究的想法和信息。在会议筹备的所有阶段，组织者都会征求意见，然后向YMC顾问委员会汇报。

This award supports the Young Mathematicians Conference (YMC) to be held at Ohio State University annually over a three year period. YMC provides a venue for undergraduate students to present and disseminate the results of their research, discuss mathematics with their peers and with senior researchers, and receive serious recognition of their achievements. Besides dissemination of undergraduate research activity in mathematics and facilitating exchange of ideas, another primary mission of YMC is to inspire and encourage students, particularly women and traditionally underrepresented groups, to pursue mathematics as a career. Each July, student researchers submit abstracts of their research projects, which are then judged and ranked by a panel of 40-70 faculty reviewers; the top ranked students, and their mentors, are invited to participate to YMC. The conference takes place during a weekend in August, from Friday noon until Sunday at noon. Besides the student talks (about 45, running in three parallel sessions) and a poster session, there are three plenary lectures delivered by world class mathematicians, aimed to introduce students to topics related to high impact, innovative research of current interest; videos of their talks are posted online. Representatives from about seven graduate schools introduce themselves and present their departments on Friday evening. A Graduate School Orientation event is held on Sunday morning where the Graduate Representatives answer the students' questions. Also on Sunday morning there is a Mentors' Breakfast where the mentors exchange ideas and information on undergraduate research. At all stages of preparation of the conference, the organizers seek advice, and then report back to the YMC Advisory Board.
