Mission of the Conference
The TX-LA Undergraduate Mathematics Conference is a forum for sharing
undergraduate research activities in mathematics among the University of
Houston, Texas A&M University, and Louisiana State University. We
believe that traveling to present, hear, and share mathematics generates
enthusiasm and stimulates the intellect, in turn preparing undergraduate
students for life after graduation, whether it be post-graduate studies or
employment in research laboratories or industry.
Activities
The main events of the conference are oral and poster presentations of
research projects in mathematics by undergraduate students. The projects
are carried out during semester or summer research programs at the
individual institutions. These programs include capstone courses,
traditional REUs, and other programs, such as
The topics run the gamut. They may be purely mathematical or highly
applied. The goals of undergraduate mathematics majors are diverse, and
many topics will naturally be interdisciplinary. The unifying fiber is
mathematics.
The inaugural 2017 conference
The inaugural TX-LA Undergraduate Mathematics Conference will be held on
the campus of the University of Houston on November 11-12, 2017 [postponed
by hurricane Harvey, from September 2-3]. The conference will continue to
take place annually in early fall, and the venue will rotate among the
three campi.
