Conference: Young Mathematicians Conference

青年数学家会议（YMC）是由俄亥俄州立大学主办的年度本科生研究会议。我们从竞争激烈的申请过程中挑选出不同的本科学生（通常在40-65岁之间），受邀参加会议的参与者将获得旅行和住宿支持。除了高质量的学生演讲和海报会议外，YMC还邀请了来自各种获奖数学家的全体演讲嘉宾。过去的演讲者包括菲尔兹奖、麦克阿瑟和斯隆奖学金、Pólya和奈万林纳奖的获得者，以及海莫奖、Chauvenet奖和Allendoerfer奖的优秀演讲和教学奖获得者。参与者也有机会（强烈鼓励）参加研究生院小组，在那里他们会见来自几个数学博士项目的代表。在小组讨论期间，学生可以询问有关研究生院申请过程、展示项目的细节以及如何提交有竞争力的研究生院申请的建议。此外，青年会还为选定的教师导师和REU主管提供交流最佳实践、资金/支持机会和讨论当前REU项目面临的挑战的场所。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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，被认为值得支持。

The Young Mathematicians Conference (YMC) is an annual undergraduate research conference hosted at the Ohio State University. Our diverse group of accepted undergraduate students (typically numbered from 40–65) are selected from a competitive application process and invited participants receive travel and lodging support to attend the conference. In addition to the high quality student presentations and poster sessions, the YMC also has plenary speakers from a diverse group of award winning mathematicians. Speakers in the past included recipients of the Fields Medal, the MacArthur and Sloan Fellowships, Pólya and Nevanlinna Prizes, as well as of the Haimo, Chauvenet, and Allendoerfer Awards for excellence in exposition and teaching. Participants also have the opportunity (and are strongly encouraged) to attend the Graduate School panel where they meet representatives from several math PhD programs. During the panel, students can ask questions regarding graduate school application process, particulars of the presenting program, and advice on putting together a competitive graduate school applications. YMC is also a gathering spot for selected faculty mentors and REU supervisors to exchange best practices,funding/support opportunities, and discussion of contemporary challenges in running REU programs.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.
