This April, the Department of Mathematics hosted the fifth annual Undergraduate Mathematics Research Symposium (UMRS25), organized by faculty members Konstantina Christodoulopoulou and Sara Pollock. This year’s symposium featured 13 talks by undergraduate researchers, covering a wide range of topics including commutative algebra, differential geometry, topology, mathematical physics, mathematical modeling and computational algorithms. The complete program and book of abstracts can be found here.
Each year, the symposium provides an opportunity for undergraduate math majors to present work from honors theses, research and reading projects, modeling competitions and REUs to an engaged audience of faculty and peers.
Many thanks to all our student presenters, faculty mentors and attendees for making this year’s event a success. We look forward to building on this momentum as we are growing our undergraduate research program — and we’re already excited for UMRS26!
