Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conferences

MAA区域本科生数学会议计划支持为本科生提供向同龄人展示数学结果的机会的会议，并确保这些会议在美国各地有一个坚实的区域基础。参与研究活动的本科生数量一直在以惊人的速度增长。这一现象为美国提供了一个机会，以扭转数学科学研究生课程入学人数减少的趋势。有机会从事数学方面的个人学习和研究，并向同龄人展示其工作成果的本科生更有可能继续攻读研究生。即使那些没有继续研究生学习的学生也会从这种经历中受益，他们的参与也会使数学受益。许多人将成为教师；其他人将在其他科学和工程领域或他们职业生涯的其他领域使用数学。所有人都将有丰富的数学经验。教师导师可以通过他们与学生的直接工作和通过他们的学生来扩大他们自己的研究的传播。在会议上发言。在合理的旅行距离内是否有会议是学生参与的重要考虑因素。MAA区域本科数学会议项目旨在通过增加学生报告其工作的活动的数量和地理分配来扩大本科数学研究，从而使该国的许多本科数学学生能够获得这些经验。

The MAA Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conferences program supports conferences that provide undergraduates the opportunity to present mathematical results to their peers and to ensure a firm regional basis for these conferences throughout the United States. The numbers of undergraduate students involved in research activities has been increasing at a tremendous rate. This phenomenon presents an opportunity for the U.S. to reverse the trend of decreasing enrollments in graduate programs in the mathematical sciences. Undergraduate students who are offered the chance to engage in individual study and research in mathematics and to present the results of their work to their peers are more likely to pursue graduate studies. Even those students who do not continue to graduate study will benefit from the experience, and their participation will benefit mathematics as well. Many will become teachers; others will use mathematics in other science and engineering fields, or in other areas of their professional lives. All will have an enriched mathematical experience. Faculty mentors can broaden the dissemination of their own research, both through their direct work with students and through their students? presentations at conferences. Availability of conferences within reasonable travel distances is an important consideration for student participation. The MAA Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conferences project seeks to expand undergraduate mathematics research by increasing the number and geographical disbursement of events for students to report on their work, thus making these experiences available to many undergraduate mathematics students in the country.
