Young Mathematicians Conference

青年数学家会议为参与REU数学项目的学生提供了一个机会，在为期三天的课程中通过演讲和海报演示来展示他们的研究成果。来自美国各地的大约70名学生被邀请就大约50个项目进行报告。邀请函是竞争性的，基于一个教师评审团对摘要的审查。此外，会议邀请了十几位导师来交流指导本科生研究的想法和经验。此外，来自美国不同机构的数学研究生项目的代表也被邀请在公开论坛和个人对话中分享他们对数学研究生研究的看法和见解。每次会议的亮点是由成就卓著的研究人员和教师进行的三次全体讲座，他们向学生介绍先进的、创新的和令人兴奋的数学主题。过去的演讲者包括著名的麦克阿瑟和斯隆奖学金、波利亚和纳瓦林纳奖，以及海默奖、乔弗内奖和艾伦多费尔奖，以表彰其在展览和教学方面的卓越表现。活动日程强烈鼓励学生、研究人员与他们的同行以及资深数学家进行讨论和互动。会议的主要目标之一是引导有天赋的学生从最初的数学研究经验走向研究数学家的职业生涯。YMC系列赛始于2003年，此后每年(2008年除外)都在8月份举行。

The Young Mathematicians Conference is an opportunity for students involved in REU programs in mathematics to present their research results in talks and posters presentations over the course of three days. Approximately 70 students from all parts of the US are invited to report on about 50 projects. Invitations are competitive and based on the review of abstracts by a panel of faculty reviewers. In addition the conference invites around a dozen mentors to exchange ideas and experiences in supervising undergraduate research. Moreover, about the same number representatives from graduate programs in mathematics from a variety of US institutions are invited to share their perspectives and insights about graduate studies in mathematics in open forums and individual conversations. Highlights of every conference are three plenary lectures by highly accomplished researchers and teachers, who introduce students to advanced, innovative, and exciting topics in mathematics. Speakers in the past included recipients of prestigious MacArthur and Sloan Fellowships, Pólya and Nevanlinna Prizes, as well as of the Haimo, Chauvenet, and Allendoerfer Awards for excellence in exposition and teaching. The event schedule strongly encourages discussions and interactions of students researchers with their peers as well as senior mathematicians. One of the main goals of the conference is to guide talented students from an initial research experience in mathematics towards a career as research mathematicians. The YMC series was started in 2003 and was held in every year since then (except for 2008) during the month of August.
