The Moravian College chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon invites you to the thirteenth annual MORAVIAN COLLEGE STUDENT MATHEMATICS CONFERENCE, a unique opportunity for undergraduate students in the Tri-State area to meet and discuss mathematics.  The day begins with a lively invited address, which is followed by a program devoted to student talks in the fields of mathematics, statistics, operations research, and computing.

Our invited speaker will be Joseph Gallian, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.  He will speak on "Breaking Drivers' License Codes."

We hope that you will choose to attend, either to give a talk or just to listen.  It is a great chance to socialize with students and faculty from throughout the Tri-State area.  The conference, to be held in the HUB and Collier Hall of Science, will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude by 4:00 p.m.

We are looking for undergraduate students interested in giving talks at the conference.  The talks should be either 15 or 25 minutes in length and may be on any topic related to MATHEMATICS, STATISTICS, OPERATIONS RESEARCH, or COMPUTING.  Possibilities would include the following:
 

• Student research projects (honors, independent study, etc.)
• Topics not usually covered in standard courses (could be done in survey fashion)
• Class projects
• Field studies
• Interesting problems or applications
• Summer jobs

If you are interested in giving a talk, please contact Dr. Schattschneider (schattdo@moravian.edu).  We need a title, time of presentation (15 or 25 minutes), and an abstract of approximately 50 words by no later than Thursday, February 11, 1999.
