Northeastern
Section Collegiate Mathematics Competition The Northeastern Section of the Mathematical Association
of America is pleased to announce its first Collegiate
Mathematics Competition. This will be a team competition for
undergraduate students open to all college and universities of the
Section. Teams can have two or three members and a College may enter as
many teams as it wishes. This will be
great fun for first-time competitors as well as
competition veterans. It can also be a great warm-up for the
Putnam exam, which takes place a couple of weeks after the Collegiate
Mathematics Competition. The questions are meant to be
stimulating, but not as difficult as those on the Putnam exam. The inaugural
competition will take place during the Fall 2006 Section Meeting at Winning teams will be announced and prizes awarded after the banquet. Prizes include copies of Mathematica for Students (courtesy of Wolfram Research) and $100 for the winning team, $75 for the second place team, and $50 for the third place team. Rules, a registration form, and more details can be found at: http://www2.norwich.edu/rpodiac. Click on the link marked "NES/MAA Information." Please note: All team members must be registered for the meeting and have paid the registration fee for the meeting by November 3rd. Call
for Undergraduate Student Papers Undergraduate students from the Northeastern Section are invited to present talks at the Fall meeting on topics in mathematics, statistics, or computer science. The presentations should be 10 minutes in length, on expository work, research projects, employment experiences, or problems from mathematical periodicals. The registration fee and cost of meals will be waived for one student presenter per paper. Interested students should submit the title of the presentation with an abstract of no more than 80 words together with full name, email address, mailing address, college/university affiliation, indication of desire to attend the Friday Banquet, the Saturday lunch or both, and the name and email address of a faculty sponsor to Karen Stanish, kstanish@keene.edu, or Raimundo Kovac, rkovac@ric.edu. The deadline for submission is Nov. 3, 2006. Call for Contributed Papers Participants at the Fall Meeting of the section are invited to submit
contributed papers. We are particularly interested in papers that will appeal
to a variety of participants. If you are planning to speak about results of
your research, keep in mind that the audience most likely will not be
familiar with your specialty, so you will want to give some motivation and
context for your work. Your presentations should be approximately 15 minutes
in length. Please send an abstract and your mailing address together with a
list of any special equipment you may need to Rob Poodiac at rpoodiac@norwich.edu
or (802) 485-2339. Email submissions are preferred, but you may also send a
typed submission to Rob Poodiac; Department of Mathematics; Call
for Graduate Student Papers Graduate Students, full-time and part-time, are invited to present papers on topics in mathematics, statistics, or computer science. Graduate students at any stage of their graduate work are welcome to give a presentation during the session. The presentations, approximately fifteen (15) minutes in length, can be given on expository work, research projects, variations on intriguing proofs, interesting problems in mathematics, work derived from periodicals, employment experiences, summer/independent research experiences, or parts of or work related to Master’s or Doctoral research projects. The registration fee and the cost for Saturday lunch will be waived for one graduate student presenter per paper. Interested graduate students should submit the title of the presentation with an abstract of no more than 100 words together with full name, college/university affiliation, contact information (phone number, fax number, and email address), audio-visual/technology needs for the presentation, the name of a faculty sponsor, and full contact information and affiliation for the faculty sponsor to Sarah Mabrouk, smabrouk@frc.mass.edu; please use “NES/MAA Graduate Student Paper Session - Submission” for the subject line. The deadline for submission is Friday, November 3, 2006. Call for New Faculty Papers New faculty participating in the Northeastern Section Fall MAA meeting are invited to submit papers for the New Faculty session. The purpose of these talks is to introduce you to the section. These talks should focus on either your research or pedagogical activities. If you are giving a talk on your research, please remember that there will be people in the audience that are unfamiliar with your research area so it might be helpful to give some background and motivation. Your presentations should be approximately 15 minutes in length. Overhead projectors and computers with projection capabilities may be available. Please send a 25 word or less abstract, any special equipment needs you may have and your mailing address to Phil Hotchkiss at photchkiss @ wsc.ma.edu or Chris Aubuchon at aubuchoc @ badger.jsc.vsc.edu. Email submissions are preferred, but you may also send a typed submission to Phil Hotchkiss or Chris Aubuchon The deadline for submission of abstracts is November 3. |
