YOUNG MATHEMATICIANS CONFERENCE
at
The Ohio State University
August 21 - 23, 2015 （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
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（please visit our website for more details on funding and travel reimbursement）.
Online applications will open in mid June followed shortly by our second announcement. The deadline for applications will be
Monday July 20, 5:00pm EDT
SPECIAL EVENTS
Besides the student presentations, we are delighted to have the following distinguished speakers to deliver the plenary talks at YMC 2015：
Andrea Bertozzi
|
（University of California Los Angeles） |
| Dave Futer |
（Temple University） |
Svitlana Mayboroda
|
（University of Minnesota） |
As in previous years we will have our "Graduate School Orientation" event with invited representatives from several different US graduate programs in mathematics. At this popular venue students are encouraged to ask questions ranging from choices of schools, nuts and bolts of applications, and what life is like as a grad student.
As usual, the conference will provide many opportunities for interaction between junior and senior conference participants.
JUDGING
Applications will be judged and scored right after the submission deadline by a panel of approximately 50 mathematics faculty so that we expect most decisions to be available in the week following the deadline. Last year we had 179 applicants（with 138 projects）from which 71 participants（presenting 55 projects）were selected.
Judges Wanted
If you are interested in undergraduate research, hold a mathematics Ph.D.（preferably faculty position）, have four or so hours time and internet access in the days following the deadline, and would like to help with judging please email us at ymc@math.osu.edu for details. Please disclose possible conflicts of interests so we can try to work around them.
The conference is funded under NSF Grant DMS-1252904（2013-2015）and supported with additional funds by the Department of Mathematics at The Ohio State University.
