Young Mathematicians Conference: August 20 – 22, 2021

We are excited to announce the 18th annual  YOUNG MATHEMATICIANS CONFERENC to be held online from August 20 – 22, 2021 (Fri-Sun).

Please mark the date and forward this announcement to any students or
teachers you know are involved in undergraduate research in
mathematics.  Information about this year’s conference will be posted
and updated at http://ymc.osu.edu/

# APPLICATIONS

We are inviting applications from undergraduate students involved in
mathematical research (in REUs and similar programs) to present their
research in talks and poster sessions.

Our online application system will open in late June followed shortly
by our second announcement.  The deadline for applications will be
Friday July 30, 5:00pm Eastern.

# SPECIAL EVENTS

Besides the student presentations, we are delighted to have the
following distinguished speakers to deliver plenary talks at YMC:

 Federico Ardila (San Francisco State University)
 Marissa Kawehi Loving (Georgia Tech)
 Jose Perea (Michigan State University)
 Lilian Pierce (Duke University)   

# GRADUATE PROGRAM PANEL

The YMC will host a graduate program panel connecting postgraduate
programs with prospective students and providing prospective students
with a glimpse of graduate study in mathematics.  If you are
interested in representing your institution on this panel, please
email ymc@math.osu.edu.

# JUDGING

Applications will be judged and scored right after the submission
deadline by a panel of approximately 25 mathematics faculty so that we
expect most decisions to be available in the week following the
deadline.  More info on the selection process, including tips for
writing abstracts, is available during the application process.

## JUDGES WANTED

We invite mathematics PhDs to volunteer to be a judge of abstracts.
It provides a unique perspective on mathematical undergraduate
research, and would require about five or so hours in the days
following the deadline.  To help with judging please email us at
ymc@math.osu.edu.

The conference is supported by NSF Grant DMS-1916606 Ohio State
Department of Mathematics, Ohio State Mathematical Research Institute
and the College of Arts and Sciences.
