Pacific Coast Undergraduate Mathematics Conference

Pacific Coast Undergraduate Mathematics Conference

The first annual Pacific Coast Undergraduate Mathematics Conference will be held on March 25, 2006 at Occidental College in Los Angeles from 8 AM until 5 PM. In addition to free registration and lunch, the conference will feature talks by undergraduates, with special sessions for freshmen and sophomores. Talks are encouraged on all topics, ranging from results of research projects through historical/biographical presentations to interesting solutions of math club problems.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Jennifer Quinn of Occidental College/University of Puget Sound and the new Executive Director of the Association for Women in Mathematics. The program will also contain two panel discussions focusing on summer opportunities for math students and career opportunities for students with a degree in mathematics. In addition, there will be a student math club competition with prizes given away during lunch, including a digital camera for first place! We encourage faculty and students to visit our conference website: http://www.math.pepperdine.edu/~kkillpat/PCUMC/PCUMC.htm to register and for further information about the schedule of events and invited speakers.
