Dear REU coordinator,

We are writing to you on behalf of Brown University's Symposium for
Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (SUMS).  SUMS is an annual
conference which is designed to foster greater undergraduate interest
and scholarship in mathematics, with both invited faculty speakers and
undergraduate presenters.  It is an excellent opportunity for student
researchers to present their work, especially in a more relaxed environment
than the national meetings. We are writing to request that you encourage
your
REU students from summer 2008 to submit an abstract for consideration.
This year, students will be able to showcase their work either in a lecture
or at a poster session.

SUMS will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2009 at Brown University in
Providence, RI.  We will be able to provide a limited amount of compensation
for student speakers' travel expenses, and we will connect all visiting
student
attendees with host students.  For more information, and to register and
submit abstracts, please visit our website at http://math.brown.edu/SUMS.

This year's featured topic will be chaos theory, and the faculty speakers
will be:
Colin Adams, Williams College
Robert L. Devaney, Boston University
Govind Menon, Brown University
Joseph Silverman, Brown University
with one additional speaker to be determined.

Yours sincerely,

SUMS Board of Directors
Andy Furnas (Andrew_Furnas at brown.edu)
Dave Hansen (David_Hansen at brown.edu)
Dennis Jang (Dennis_Jang at brown.edu)
Alex Kruckman (Alex_Kruckman at brown.edu)

SUMS Faculty Advisor
Jill Pipher (jpipher at math.brown.edu)

Mathematics Department Chair
Joseph Silverman (jhs at math.brown.edu)
