Undergraduate Mathematics Research Conference Series 2019-2021

该奖项支持参加特洛伊MathFest会议系列的三次会议，分别于2019年4月，2020年和2021年4月在阿拉巴马州特洛伊举行。 这是一个本科生数学研究会议，包括本科生演讲会议（尽管研究生和教师也欢迎出席），海报会议，研究生院信息会议，微积分比赛和两位受邀教师演讲者。会议系列的目标是（1）通过学习新的数学思想，帮助参与的学生发展更好的科学素养和欣赏;（2）为参与者提供准备和发表演讲的经验;（3）帮助更好地为下一代数学家做好准备。特洛伊数学节是一个本科生研究会议，包括在广泛的数学领域工作的学生的演讲。会议提供了一个环境，来自不同学术机构的学生聚集在一起，建立合作，并相互学习新的数学。 会议还为学生提供了参加著名数学家的主题演讲的机会，这些数学家有与本科生合作研究的记录。 会议还为学生提供了了解区域数学研究生课程并与他们的代表联系的机会。 会议以竞争激烈和引人注目的微积分比赛结束，学生可以展示他们的技能，并可能赢得奖品。更多信息可以在会议系列网站上找到：https://www.troy.edu/mathfest/.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

This award supports participation in three meetings of the Troy MathFest conference series, taking place in Troy, AL in April of 2019, 2020, and 2021. This is an undergraduate mathematics research conference that includes sessions for undergraduate presentations (although graduate students and faculty are welcome to present, too), a poster session, graduate school information session, a calculus competition, and two invited faculty speakers. The goals of the conference series are (1) to help participating students develop better scientific literacy and appreciation by learning new mathematical ideas; (2) to provide the participants experience in preparing and delivering a presentation; and (3) to help better prepare the next generation of mathematicians for graduate school and beyond. The Troy MathFest is an undergraduate research conference that includes presentations by students working in a wide range of areas of mathematics. The conference provides an environment where students from various academic institutions gather to build collaborations and learn new mathematics from one another. The conference also provides the opportunity for students to attend keynote lectures from prominent mathematicians who have records of working with undergraduates on research. The meeting further provides the opportunity for students to learn about regional mathematics graduate programs and to connect with their representatives. The conference concludes with a competitive and compelling calculus competition, in which students can showcase their skills and possibly win prizes.
