2013 Joint Mathematics Meetings | San Diego, CA

The Undergraduate Student Poster Session, organized by Joyati Debnath, Winona State University, was held on Friday, January 11, from 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. The session is reserved for undergraduate and first-year graduate students submitting posters on work done while an undergraduate. Posters will be judged during the session and award certificates will be mailed to presenters with the highest scores. Trifold, self-standing 48" by 36" tabletop poster boards will be provided. Additional materials and equipment is the responsibility of the presenters. Participants must set up posters between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. Participants must be available from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. for judging and public viewing and questions.
Appropriate poster topics include: a new result, a new proof of a known result, a new mathematical model, an innovative solution to a Putnam problem, a method of solution for an applied problem. Purely expository topics are not appropriate for this session.
Submit your abstract using this form. The proposal submission deadline is midnight, October 26, 2012. For tips, see for A Guide to Writing an Abstract.
Student participating in this session are eligible to apply for student travel funding. You apply for student travel on the same form you use to submit your abstract.

Provide the requested information, and your application is automatically submitted along with your abstract. You can find more information about student travel here.
Questions regarding this session should be directed to Joyati Debnath at jdebnath@winona.edu.
JMM is the largest annual mathematics meeting in the world, and offers a variety of sessions that are designed to appeal to undergraduates. Complete program and registration information is available on the official JMM website.
The MAA Undergraduate Student Poster Session started very modestly at the beginning of 1990 with fewer than fifteen student projects. It now showcases more than 300 projects, and continues to grow each year.
There are over 200 professional mathematicians participating on the judging panel, so this is a great opportunity to get your work noticed by leaders in your field.
