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. The conference features 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 2010 to attend and submit an
abstract for consideration. Students will be able to showcase their work
either with a talk or a poster.

Student talks may be on any original research or topic of interest in a
math-related field. They do not need to have a connection with the
conference theme (Math and the Design of Form). We will accept presentation
proposals on a rolling basis, so students interested in presenting are
encouraged to submit abstracts as soon as possible.

SUMS will be held on Saturday, March 5, 2011 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
students who need housing 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 Math and the Design of Form, and the
faculty speakers will be:
Professor Joy Ko, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)
Professor Kyna Leski, RISD
Professor L. Mahadevan, Harvard University
Professor Richard Schwartz, Brown University
Professor Peter Winkler, Dartmouth College

Yours sincerely,

SUMS Board of Directors
