Symposium Structure:
SUMS will feature five faculty lectures and twelve undergraduate talks, as well as a poster session.
The primary audience for every lecture will be undergraduate
math and science students from Brown and various other universities
in the Northeast. Area high school students and teachers, professors,
and other members of the Brown community will also be invited
to attend the lectures. We expect about 50 people to attend each
of the lectures.
If you are interested in giving a talk or presenting a poster, please submit your title and abstract through the registration page.
Undergraduate talks should not exceed 20 minutes in length. It is
essential that speakers indicate whatever audio/visual
needs they will have at the time of registration so that we can
fully accommodate these needs.
A thirty minute time slot will be available for undergraduates to present posters describing their research.
Shortly after you register, we will send you a confirmation email
indicating whether or not your presentation has been accepted. We will consider abstract submissions in the order that we receive
them. Since we accept lectures and posters on a rolling basis, we
encourage potential presenters to submit their abstracts as early as
possible.
Lodging and Transportation:
Some reimbursement of travel expenses will be available to both student speakers and poster presenters. Please save your receipts and tickets.
Lodging for Friday and Saturday nights is available to all attendees who require it. Please note on the registration form if you require lodging. If you have special requests, or other questions, please contact us at sums@math.brown.edu.
You should also note that the banquet dinner, which costs five dollars to
attend, is the only full
meal provided with the Symposium. On Saturday a very light breakfast
will precede the first lecture event. However, Saturday lunch
is up to you. There are many places to eat around Brown, and
we will include a guide in your registration packet that you
will receive when you arrive.
