Undergraduate Mathematics Research Conference Series 2019-2021

该奖项支持参加2019年4月、2020年和2021年4月在亚利桑那州特洛伊举行的特洛伊数学节系列会议的三次会议。这是一个本科生数学研究会议，包括本科生报告会议(虽然研究生和教师也欢迎出席)，海报会议，研究生院信息会议，微积分竞赛，以及两个受邀的教师演讲。该系列会议的目标是(1)帮助参加会议的学生通过学习新的数学思想来培养更好的科学素养和鉴赏力；(2)为与会者提供准备和发表演讲的经验；以及(3)帮助下一代数学家更好地为研究生院及以后的学习做准备。特洛伊数学节是一个本科生研究会议，其中包括从事广泛数学领域工作的学生的演讲。会议提供了一个环境，来自不同学术机构的学生聚集在一起，建立合作关系，相互学习新的数学。会议还为学生提供了参加著名数学家的主旨讲座的机会，这些数学家有与本科生进行研究的记录。会议还为学生提供了了解地区性数学研究生课程并与其代表建立联系的机会。会议结束时，举行了一场竞争激烈、引人入胜的微积分比赛，学生们可以在比赛中展示自己的技能，还可能赢得奖项。更多信息可在会议系列网站上找到：https://www.troy.edu/mathfest/.This奖反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 supports participation in three meetings of the Troy MathFest conference series, taking place in Troy, AL in April of 2019, 2020, and 2021. This is an undergraduate mathematics research conference that includes sessions for undergraduate presentations (although graduate students and faculty are welcome to present, too), a poster session, graduate school information session, a calculus competition, and two invited faculty speakers. The goals of the conference series are (1) to help participating students develop better scientific literacy and appreciation by learning new mathematical ideas; (2) to provide the participants experience in preparing and delivering a presentation; and (3) to help better prepare the next generation of mathematicians for graduate school and beyond. The Troy MathFest is an undergraduate research conference that includes presentations by students working in a wide range of areas of mathematics. The conference provides an environment where students from various academic institutions gather to build collaborations and learn new mathematics from one another. The conference also provides the opportunity for students to attend keynote lectures from prominent mathematicians who have records of working with undergraduates on research. The meeting further provides the opportunity for students to learn about regional mathematics graduate programs and to connect with their representatives. The conference concludes with a competitive and compelling calculus competition, in which students can showcase their skills and possibly win prizes.
