About the Conference:
This meeting is part
of a series of conferences held yearly, and this year for the first time, the
host is the Department of Mathematics at Southeastern Louisiana University.
Recently, the meeting has taken place at Florida
Atlantic University (November 2003), at University of Louisiana
at Lafayette (October 2002), at Loyola University in
New Orleans (April 2002), at the University of Southern
Mississippi in Hattisburg (April 2001), etc.
In addition to the
program of professional talks, this year the conference will have a series of
parallel sessions for undergraduate and
masters-seeking students. We
encourage you to invite promising undergrads and masters seeking students to
attend. The student sessions will
include talks and panel discussions on careers in mathematics, graduate
school—getting in and succeeding, as well as several mathematics talks designed
to be of interest to both undergraduate and masters program students. As usual, Ph.D. students are encouraged to
participate in the professional sessions.
As is usual with this conference, there will be a dinner on Friday evening. We will be dining at Trey Yuen Chinese Restaurant. On Saturday, there will be the conference picnic.
