Student Talks at the Fall Meeting
The Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware Section (EPaDel) of the Mathematical Association of America invites Graduate and Undergraduate students to present talks on mathematics-related topics during EPaDel's Sectional Fall Meeting at Ursinus College on Saturday, November 8, 2008
A talk in the Graduate Student Session should be 15 minutes in length. A talk in the Undergraduate Student Session should be approximately 10 minutes.
Your talk should fall into one of the three categories described below.
Expository: (e.g., historical topics in mathematics, mathematical
problems, applications, an article from a mathematics journal,
pedagogy, school mathematics curricula, teaching and learning of
mathematics)
Mathematical Activity: (e.g., problems, modeling contests, Student
Chapter or math club activities, internships or summer employment)
Research: (e.g., problems solved or attempted, honors projects)
Talks given in the undergraduate sessions should be presented at a level geared to an undergraduate audience.
How to Submit a Talk
