Dear colleagues, dear students,

    we are excited to announce the seventh

             YOUNG MATHEMATICIANS CONFERENCE

               The Ohio State University

             August 27th - 29th, 2010   (Fri-Sun)

     Please mark the date and forward this announcement to any
  students or teachers you know are involved in undergraduate
  research in mathematics. All information about this year's
  conference has been posted or will be updated at

              http://www.ymc.osu.edu/2010

 APPLICATIONS

   We are inviting applications from undergraduate students involved
   in REUs and similar programs to present their research in talks
   and poster sessions. We expect to invite and fully support around
   seventy student presenters, and hope to be able to provide partial
   support for accompanying mentors who are also invited to apply.

   Online applications will open within the next week or so followed
   by our second announcement. The deadline for applications will be

               Monday   August  2nd   4:00pm EST


 SPECIAL EVENTS

   Besides the student presentations, we are delighted to have the
   following distinguished speakers come to YMC 2010 and deliver
   the plenary lectures:

          Colin Adams      (Williams College)
          Bryna Kra        (Northwestern)
          Lauren Williams  (UC Berkeley)

   As in previous years we will conduct a "Graduate School Orientation"
   with invited representatives from several different US graduate
   programs in mathematics. At this popular venue questions ranging
   from choices of schools, nuts and bolts of applications, and what
   life is like as a grad student are discussed from various
   perspectives.

   We also plan to conduct an Outstanding Presentation competition
   again this year, and, as usual, will try provide as many
   opportunities as possible for interaction between junior and senior
   conference participants.

 JUDGING

   Applications will be judged and scored right after the submission
   deadline by a panel of mathematics faculty so that we expect most
   decisions to be available in the week following the deadline. Last
   year we had 160 applicants (with 124 projects) of which 70
   participants (presenting 59 projects) were selected.

   *Judges Wanted:* If you are interested in undergraduate research,
   hold a mathematics faculty position (PhD), have no significant
   conflicts of interest, have a few hours time and internet access
   in the days following the deadline, and would like to help with
   judging please email us at ymc at math.osu.edu for details.

 POSTER

   A poster should have been sent to your institution. In case you do
   not receive a poster in the next days or like to have an additional
   one please contact us at ymc at math.osu.edu. A PDF file of the poster
   can be downloaded from

         http://www.ymc.osu.edu/2010/img/ymc_poster.pdf

   For any questions and comments please contact us at

                       ymc at math.osu.edu

   The conference is funded under NSF Grant DMS-0841054 (2009-2011) and
   supported with additional funds by the Department of Mathematics at
   The Ohio State University.


   Best wishes,
