Conference: TROY MathFest Undergraduate Mathematics Conference series 2024-2026

年度会议“TROY MathFest”将于2024年4月12日至13日、2025年4月11日至12日和2026年4月10日至11日在阿拉巴马州特洛伊大学校园举行。这是一个主要针对本科生的会议。它为学生提供了一个论坛来展示他们在数学项目上的工作，并参加著名主讲人的讲座，并将学生与研究生院代表联系起来。更广泛的影响包括让学生学习新的数学概念，从而提高科学素养；为学生演讲者提供准备和发表数学项目演讲的经验（从而为他们未来的职业生涯做好准备）；并给那些追求数学事业的人提供经验，这将使他们在研究生院和以后的学习中受益。会议为本科生提供了一个论坛，可以通过演讲或海报的形式展示他们的项目；参加著名数学家的主题演讲；与来自东南地区的研究生院代表进行交流；参加微积分比赛和数学竞赛。学生提交的研究项目在学院或大学教师或数学专业人士的监督下进行。原始工作和结果可能为整个数学界所知，但不为学生所知。最近的会议网址是https://www.troy.edu/academics/colleges-schools/college-arts-sciences/departments/school-science-technology/mathematics-department/about/mathfest/.This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，被认为值得支持。

The annual conference, "TROY MathFest", will be held on the campus of Troy University in Troy, Alabama, on April 12-13, 2024, April 11-12, 2025, and April 10-11, 2026. It is a conference aimed primarily for undergraduate students. It provides a forum for students to present their work on mathematics projects and to attend lectures of prominent keynote speakers and connects students to graduate school representatives. The broader impacts include allowing students to learn new mathematical ideas and therefore improving scientific literacy; giving student speakers the experience of preparing and delivering a presentation on their mathematics projects (thereby preparing them for future careers); and giving those pursuing careers in mathematics experiences that will benefit them in graduate school and beyond. The conference provides a forum for undergraduates to present their projects as either giving a presentation or a poster; attend keynote lectures by prominent mathematicians; interact with graduate school representatives typically from the southeast region; and participate in a calculus competition and a math trivia contest. The research projects that students presenting are under the supervision of college or university faculty members or person in the mathematics profession. Both original work and results maybe known to the mathematical community at large but not to the student are accepted for the conference.
