TROY MathFest Undergraduate Conference

该奖项为美国参加将于2018年4月6-7日在阿拉巴马州特洛伊大学举行的“特洛伊数学节本科生大会”提供资金。会议的重点是本科生的研究；它的目的是为本科生提供一个方便的论坛来展示他们在数学项目上的工作。一位杰出的数学家将作主旨演讲。它还将促进参加各种地方、地区和国家研究生项目的学生的介绍。目标是让学生对在数学科学领域寻求职业生涯的下一步有一个感觉。特别关注的是为妇女和任职人数不足的群体成员提供出席和参加这次会议的机会。这一奖项为早期职业研究人员、代表不足的团体的成员、不受NSF资助的研究人员等提供了出席和参与这次会议的机会。组委会将通过一系列不同的活动，努力让目标群体了解这一筹资机会。有关更多信息，请访问：https：//troy.edu/mathfest/该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides funding for US participation in the conference "Troy MathFest Undergraduate Conference" that will be held at Troy University, April 6-7, 2018 in Troy, Alabama. The conference focuses on undergraduate research; its purpose is to provide an accessible forum for undergraduates to present their work on mathematical projects. A distinguished mathematician will provide a keynote lecture. It will also facilitate the introduction of attending students to various local, regional, and national graduate programs. The goal is to give students a sense of the next steps in pursuing a career in the mathematical sciences. Of special focus is providing opportunities for woman and members of underrepresented groups to attend and participate in this conference. This award gives early career researchers, members of underrepresented groups, researchers not funded by NSF and the like an opportunity to attend and participate in this conference. The organizing committee will strive to make this funding opportunity known to target groups through a number of different activities. More information will be made available at:https:/troy.edu/mathfest/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.
