The 8th Annual UNCG Regional Mathematics and Statistics Conference

该奖项支持将于2012年11月3日在UNCG举行的北卡罗来纳大学格林斯博罗分校区域数学与统计会议。联合国儿童基金会区域数学和统计会议的主要目标是为各级学生提供一个交流和体验数学和统计领域研究的场所。该会议始于2005年的年度本科生会议，自2009年以来已扩大到包括研究生研究人员。会议的重点完全放在学生的研究上。我们通过只有一位专家教师的全体发言和学生的休息来展示会议的这一方面。该会议已经建立了吸引来自北卡罗来纳州和弗吉尼亚州的活跃的学生研究人员及其教师导师的传统。国家科学基金会的支持将使我们能够吸引来自整个东南大西洋地区的参与者。会议网站是：http://www.uncg.edu/mat/rmsc/.The学生之间以及学生和教师之间的个人互动机会是我们会议的一个标志。这些互动加强了研究基础设施，对学生研究的成功和培养新一代数学家和统计学家至关重要。此外，由于国家科学基金会的资助，我们能够支持妇女和少数民族，目前在数学研究中代表性不足。来自这些未被充分代表的群体的学生约占支持参与者的一半。

This award supports the Univeristy of North Carolina Greensboro Regional Mathematics and Statistics Conference which will be held at UNCG on November 3, 2012. The main goal of the UNCG Regional Mathematics and Statistics Conference is to provide a venue for students at all levels to share and experience research in the field of mathematics and statistics. This conference started as an annual undergraduate student conference in 2005 and has now expanded to include graduate researchers since 2009. The conference is completely focused on student research. We showcase this aspect of the conference by having only one plenary speech by an expert faculty and rest by students. The conference has established a tradition of attracting active student researchers and their faculty mentors from North Carolina and Virginia. The NSF support will allow us to attract participants from the entire Southeastern Atlantic region. The conference website is:http://www.uncg.edu/mat/rmsc/.The opportunity for personal interaction among students and between students and faculty is a hallmark of our conference. These interactions enhance the research infrastructure and are essential for the success of student research and for training a new generation of mathematicians and statisticians. Moreover, due to the funding of NSF we have been able to support women and minorities, currently underrepresented in mathematical research. Students from these underrepresented groups accounted for about half of the supported participants.
