Young Mathematicians Conference

青年数学家大会（YMC）是一个重要的本科数学研究年度会议，在8月的一个周末举行，从周五中午到周日中午。该会议自2003年以来一直在NSF的持续支持下运行。青年会为本科生提供了一个展示和传播他们的研究成果的场所，与他们的同龄人和资深研究人员讨论数学，并接受他们的研究成果的认可。YMC的另一个主要使命是激励和鼓励学生，特别是女性和传统上代表性不足的群体，将数学作为一种职业。学生提交摘要，由40-70名教师评审员组成的小组进行评判和排名。我们邀请优秀的学生和他们的导师参加青年会。除了学生讲座和海报会议外，还有三场由世界级数学家主持的全体讲座，向学生介绍与当前感兴趣的高影响力创新研究相关的主题。这些讲座的视频发布在网上。研究生院迎新活动邀请博士课程的代表提供有关数学研究生职业的信息和见解。青年会是一个自然的交流思想的地方，重点是本科生的指导。来自不同机构的导师在导师早餐会上聚集在一起，讨论与监督本科生研究和指导相关的最佳实践、以前的经验和挑战。强大的在线存在可以与过去的参与者保持联系和连续性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

The Young Mathematicians Conference (YMC), a premier annual conference for undergraduate research in mathematics, takes place during a weekend in August, from Friday noon until Sunday at noon. The conference has been running since 2003 with the ongoing support of NSF. YMC provides a venue for undergraduate students to present and disseminate the results of their research, discuss mathematics with their peers and with senior researchers, and receive recognition of their research achievements. Another primary mission of YMC is to inspire and encourage students, particularly women and traditionally underrepresented groups, to pursue mathematics as a career.Students submit abstracts, which are judged and ranked by a panel of 40-70 faculty reviewers. Top-ranked students and their mentors are invited to participate in YMC. Besides student talks and a poster session, there are three plenary lectures delivered by world-class mathematicians to introduce students to topics related to high impact innovative research of current interest. Videos of these lectures are posted online. A Graduate School Orientation event invites representatives from PhD programs to provide information and insights about a graduate career in mathematics. YMC is a natural place to exchange ideas focused on undergraduate mentoring. Mentors from different institutions convene at a Mentors' Breakfast where they discuss best practices, previous experiences, and challenges related to supervising undergraduate research and mentorship. A strong online presence allows connections and continuity with past participants. The conference website is https://ymc.osu.edu/.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.
