Texas Undergraduate Mathematics Conference 2018-2019

该奖项将支持德克萨斯州本科生数学会议（TUMC）的本科生参与者，该会议将于2018年11月2日至3日由德克萨斯州纳科多奇斯的斯蒂芬F.奥斯汀州立大学主办。2019年秋季，TUMC将由德克萨斯大学泰勒分校主办。会议的重点是由本科生或与本科生合作进行的研究。这次会议为本科生提供了一个机会，让他们看到同龄人正在做的研究，并开始向更大的数学研究社区过渡。德克萨斯大学本科数学大会（TUMC）已经举办了15年，旨在为学生提供一个展示他们的工作、发现研究机会、了解更多关于研究生院和非学术数学职业的论坛。与会者通常来自研究会议中代表性不足的群体：TUMC招募的许多学生来自社区学院、西班牙裔服务机构、历史上的黑人学院和大学，以及至少有40%的第一代大学生的机构。作为缺乏服务的本科生和数学研究界之间的重要联系的一部分，TUMC将对本科生参与者不收取任何相关费用。这种支持旨在增加资源有限的机构（如社区大学）的参与。TUMC执行委员会还将扩大他们收集人口统计信息的努力，包括学生和教师参与者的研究活动信息。特别是，他们将调查在参加TUMC后的一年中，研究活动的吸收方式。关于会议的更多信息可以在网站上找到：http://sections.maa.org/texas/tumc/.This该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

This award will support undergraduate participants of the Texas Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (TUMC) which will be hosted on November 2-3, 2018 by Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. In fall 2019, TUMC will be hosted by the University of Texas at Tyler. The conference focus is on research done by undergraduate students or in conjunction with undergraduates. This conference offers undergraduates the opportunity to see the research being done by their peers and to start the transition into the larger community of mathematical research. Now in its 15th year, the Texas Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (TUMC) seeks to provide students with a forum to present their work, to discover research opportunities, and to learn more about graduate school and non-academic careers in mathematics. Conference attendees often come from groups that are underrepresented at research conferences: TUMC recruits many students from community colleges, Hispanic serving institutions, historically black colleges and universities, and institutions having at least 40% first generation college students. As part of this vital link between underserved undergraduate students and the mathematical research community, TUMC will be run without any associated cost for undergraduate participants. This support is meant to increase participation from institutions with limited resources, such as community colleges. The Executive Committee for TUMC will also expand their efforts in collecting demographic information to include information about the research activities of student and faculty participants. In particular, they will investigate the ways in which the uptake of research activities occurs in the year after attending TUMC. Additional information about the conference can be found on the website: http://sections.maa.org/texas/tumc/.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.
