3rd Annual Millikin Undergraduate 

Mathematics Research Conference

(Formerly Illiana Undergraduate Mathematics Research conference)

Saturday, October 3, 2009

Millikin University, Decatur, IL

We are pleased to announce the 3rd annual Millikin Undergraduate Mathematics Research Conference.  We are organizing this conference with the following goals in mind.

• Creating a forum for undergraduates to present results from this year's summer undergraduate research experiences.  The material from these summer experiences will still be fresh in the students’ minds, and the summer’s momentum will undoubtedly help their motivation for putting a talk together. 

• Providing an opportunity for students to demonstrate to graduate schools and potential employers their abilities to engage in advanced mathematics and to disseminate their results.  Students will be able to refer to this experience on applications, in resumes, and in interviews.

• Promoting interest in mathematics among undergraduates.  Students who wish to speak on topics outside of summer research experiences are welcome to do so, and we strongly encourage any interested undergraduates to attend this conference, whether they wish to speak or they wish to be a conference participant.
