MathFest 2025
I am happy to announce that TROY MathFest 2025 undergraduate conference will take place April 4-5 on the 好色先生TV campus in Troy, AL in John Robert Lewis Hall. This will be our 18th such conference and have universities and colleges from around the Southeast participate annually; we are the long-running undergraduate conference in Alabama where people across several states gather annually. We hope that you and any of your colleagues/students will attend. Troy MathFest is an undergraduate (primarily) and free conference, but of course faculty and graduate students are welcome as well.
Our conference by the NSF that we will again be funded through a conference grant;
it is use NSF-DMS Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences Award ID
2346627.
This grant will allow us to offer undergraduate student stipends to those who either
give a talk or a poster presentation. Yes, that's right鈥攚e will pay stipends to undergraduate
student speakers and poster presenters.
The grant will also provide general conference support, such as lunch for everyone
on Saturday, April 5, as well as refreshments on both Friday and Saturday.
Here are some highlights and more information about our conference.
Troy MathFest 2025 is a one plus-day conference designed to provide undergraduate (graduate students welcome, too!) students with an opportunity to present their work, either research or exposition, in a friendly and supportive environment. Please encourage your students to join us to make presentations or posters in areas of mathematics, mathematics education, history of mathematics, and applications of mathematics. Graduate students and faculty may give talks, too. We also welcome students not presenting to attend MathFest 2024 and learn more about a wide variety of mathematics, connect with a group of their mathematical peers, and add to their professional growth. Students or faculty interested in giving a talk or poster should include information about their presentation when they register. I will send you information on the registration website once it becomes active.
路 The conference is free.
路 Kahoot math (and other) trivia contest on Friday night (April 4)
路 Troy MathFest 2025 also features a Calculus competition with prizes.
路 We will again have presentations and poster session for students.
路 We have graduate school browse sessions with representatives from graduate schools in mathematics. We typically have about 10 universities represented each year. Good way for those of you who have graduate programs to connect with talented undergraduate math students.
路 We will have an invited speaker who is involved with undergraduates in research.
路 Good way for students to experience and enjoy an actual math conference: connect with a group of their peers, learn new mathematics, perhaps give a presentation/poster (not necessary, though)
路 Please share this invitation with your faculty and students.
路 We typically have 80-100 participants from about 20 academic institutions across several states participate in our conference.
