On Saturday, 19 February 2011, there will be an informal miniconference in applied mathematics and related areas, held at Clemson University, in Clemson, South Carolina.
The official web page for the conference is http://www.math.clemson.edu/~rebholz/miniconference2011/miniconference_2011.html .
The conference is sponsored jointly by the Clemson SIAM Student Chapter, by SIAM Southeast , and by the Clemson Mathematical Sciences Department.
The host and manager of the conference is Professor Leo Rebholz.
The conference will be held in Madren Center. The room includes an overhead projector system; speakers will use PowerPoint or PDF files to present their talks.
In part, the conference is intended as a "practice session" for students, to give them a comfortable forum in which to present the results of their research, while getting advice and suggestions from their peers and mentors. This kind of oral presentation is a vital part of a graduate student's career. The talks presented at this conference will be developed further for presentation at job interviews and at conferences, such as the upcoming SIAM SEAS conference , to be held at UNC Charlotte over March 26-27.
The conference is also intended to be an opportunity for the beginning researchers to gain exposure for their own work, to get an idea of what others are working on, and to meet and to exchange ideas with others in their field of interest.
The conference will include student speakers from Auburn, Clemson, Emory, Florida State, Pitt, South Carolina, and Virginia Tech.
Students from FSU who attend the meeting will be offered transportation in the departmental van; hotel reservations will be made and covered by the department. (Food and other incidentals will be the responsibility of the attendees.)
If you have questions about this miniconference, please send a note to Leo Rebholz, rebholz at clemson or speak to your local FSU representative, John Burkardt.
