We are excited to announce the 16th annual
YOUNG MATHEMATICIANS CONFERENCE
at The Ohio State University
August 9 - 11, 2019 (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 has been posted
and will be updated at http://ymc.osu.edu/
# APPLICATIONS
We are inviting applications from undergraduate students involved in
REUs and similar programs to present their research in talks and
poster sessions. We expect to invite and /fully support/ around
seventy student presenters, and hope to be able to provide partial
support for accompanying mentors who are also invited to apply. Visit
our website for more details on funding and travel reimbursement.
Our online application system will open in June followed shortly by
our second announcement. The deadline for applications will be
Wednesday July 10, 5:00pm Eastern.
# SPECIAL EVENTS
Besides the student presentations, we are delighted to have the
following distinguished speakers to deliver plenary talks at YMC 2019:
Moon Duchin (Tufts University)
Sam Payne (University of Texas at Austin)
Tatiana Toro (University of Washington)
As in previous years we will have our "Graduate School Orientation"
event with invited representatives from several different US graduate
programs in mathematics including: Ohio State, UIUC, and the
University of Cincinnati. At this popular venue questions ranging from
choices of schools, nuts and bolts of applications, and what life is
like as a grad student are discussed.
As usual, we will provide many opportunities for interaction between
junior and senior conference participants.
# 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
If you are interested in undergraduate research, hold a mathematics
Ph.D. (preferably faculty position), have 5 or so hours' time and
internet access in the days following the deadline, and would like to
help with judging please email us at [log in to unmask]
The conference is supported by NSF Grant DMS-1550117, Ohio State
Department of Mathematics, Ohio State Mathematical Research Institute
and the College of Arts and Sciences.
