 Dear Colleagues, dear Students,

     this is our second announcement of the sixth

                 YOUNG MATHEMATICIANS CONFERENCE

   at the           The Ohio State University

   during        August 28th - August 30th, 2009   (Fri-Sun)

   >>>  Applications for participation and support are now OPEN  <<<

   In order to apply please follow the links (click "Apply" from menu) and
   instructions on the conference web site at

       http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/conferences/ymc/2009

   Please carefully read our information on joint presentations, abstracts,
   and reimbursements. The deadline for applications is

               Monday   August  3rd   4:00pm EST

   Undergraduate students involved in REUs and similar programs as well as
   accompanying mentors are cordially invited to submit applications. As in
   previous years a panel of several faculty will evaluate submitted research
   abstracts. About 70 student applicants will be selected for participation
   based on these reviews. We expect most decisions on invitations and support
   to be completed around August 7th. Invited participants will  be asked to
   arrange their travel and confirm their participation within 2 to 3 days of
   receiving the invitation email from us.

   Highlights of this year's conference, besides the student presentations,
   include three distinguished plenary lectures by

          Laura DeMarco  (UIC)
          Carolyn Gordon (Dartmouth)
          Peter Sarnak   (Princeton & I.A.S.).

   We will also continue our "Graduate School Orientation" this year with
   representatives from various different US graduate programs in mathematics.
   This year we expect that representatives from the mathematics graduate
   programs of the Univ of Chicago, M.I.T., Univ of Arizona, Univ of Nebraska,
   Lehigh Univ, Princeton, Dartmouth, UIC, and Ohio State will participate in
   the graduate panel discussion and will be available during social events.
   We expect additional representatives from further institutions which were
   also invited to participate.
