STOP PRESS: The conference went very smoothly and the quality of all the presentations was remarkable. I'll be posting a photo and otehr material here in due course. Meanwhile my thanks to everyone who participated, and above all to Peter Rowlett of the IMA and Noel-Ann Bradshaw at Greenwich who made it all happen. Tony Mann, University of Greenwich
The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) Tomorrow's Mathematicians Todayan Undergraduate Mathematics Conference supported by the IMA Sponsored by Taylor & Francis University of Greenwich, 6 February 2010 The University of Greenwich Department of Mathematical Sciences, in conjunction with The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), is very pleased to announce the inaugural Undergraduate Mathematics Conference in London which will be held on Saturday 6th February 2010. The keynote speaker will be Professor Ian Stewart, who earlier this year was the first recipient of the Christopher Zeeman Medal, awarded jointly by the LMS and the IMA for his work on promoting mathematics. Professor Stewart will talk on "Mathematical Curiosities and Treasures from Professor Stewart's Cabinet". This will be a fascinating day which will give participants the opportunity to learn about a wide range of mathematics which has excited their peers. The aim of the conference is to enable final year (and other) undergraduates to give presentations on mathematical topics of their choice. Undergraduates from Aberdeen, Bath, Birkbeck University of London, Brighton, Cambridge, Exeter, Glasgow, Greenwich, Leeds, Liverpool, Oxford, Royal Holloway, St Andrews and University College London have already registered to present or attend. Mathematics students will benefit enormously from this in a number of ways. Those going into research will gain experience of the process of conference submission, while those going into the workplace will gain valuable experience to enhance their CVs and career prospects. All delegates will gain insights into a wide range of mathematics of potential value in their future careers. It should be a wonderfully enjoyable day of inspiring mathematics. In order to encourage students to attend it is important that this conference be free to students so we would ask that Universities make a financial contribution of £10 per person up to a maximum of £100 to help us cover our costs. |
