Hey all you women out there — this conference is just for you! The NCUWM is held every year at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln. This year is the 12th year of the conference. The conference consists of mathematical talks and poster presentations by undergraduate women, usually the result of an independent study or research project. There will also be well-known mathematicians giving talks and offering career advice to the participants. This is a great opportunity to meet hundreds of women who, like you, are all interested in studying mathematics. (Check out the conference photo from last year at the link above – you may see some familiar faces!)
The conference will be held January 29-31, 2010. The conference will pay for your lodging and most meals while you are there. We will also apply for travel funds from the College of Arts and Sciences and the Mathematics Department to cover the costs of getting there.
Registration is open now for the conference, and they often fill up sooner than the December deadline. If you are interested in attending or have more questions, please contact Dr. Keri Kornelson before November 16.





Here is a puzzle: Who in Norman has done the most to get people excited about math and explain all sorts of cool ideas, puzzles, etc. to anybody who cared to listen? Dr. Goodey? Dr. Petrov? Dr. Shankar? Dr. Breen? Dr. Gutman? Maybe a teacher at Norman High or Norman North? Nope, nope, nope, and nope! He is one of the great advertisers of mathematics by showing that it can be fun and and interesting.
