Texas/Oklahoma Regional Undergraduate Symposium

德克萨斯/俄克拉何马研究本科研讨会（TORUS）将于2018年2月10日在中西部州立大学举行。随后的专题讨论会将于2019年2月在南拿撒勒大学和2020年2月在卡梅伦大学举行。TORUS是一个为期一天的年度会议，自2005年以来在德克萨斯州和俄克拉何马州的不同大学举行。它为对数学研究感兴趣的本科生提供了与其他学院和大学一起参加数学学术和社会活动的机会，目的是鼓励学生从事数学研究生学习和职业。TORUS还有助于加强德克萨斯州/俄克拉何马州地区以本科为重点的大学之间的联系，并鼓励这些大学的教师与本科生一起开展研究项目。每次研讨会包括两次邀请演讲，学生报告，小组讨论和数学危险。此外，学生将有机会在会议网站上与更广泛的受众分享他们的研究成果（例如，论文或海报）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

The Texas/Oklahoma Research Undergraduate Symposium (TORUS) will be held on February 10, 2018, at Midwestern State University. Subsequent symposia will be held in February 2019 at Southern Nazarene University and February 2020 at Cameron University. TORUS is an annual one-day conference that has been held since 2005 at different universities in the Texas and Oklahoma Region. It provides opportunities for undergraduates interested in the study of mathematics to participate in scholarly and social activities in mathematics with other colleges and universities with the goal of encouraging students to pursue graduate study and careers in mathematics. TORUS also helps strengthen connections between undergraduate-focused universities in the Texas/Oklahoma region and encourage faculty at these universities to pursue research projects with undergraduate students.Each symposium includes two invited talks, student presentations, a panel discussion, and Math Jeopardy. In addition, students will have the opportunity to share the results of their research (for example, a paper or poster) with a broader audience on the conference website. The conference website is http://homepages.se.edu/torus/.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
