Expository Talks for Undergraduates by Graduate Students Jim Freeman, Cornell College Saturday, August 8, 1:00 - 5:30 pm This session is aimed at graduate students who are ready to enter the job market within the next year. The majority of academic jobs available to mathematicians involve teaching undergraduate students. Many of the interviews for these jobs require a presentation to be made to undergraduates, yet most graduate students have not had the opportunity to give these types of presentations. This session gives graduate students the opportunity to give a 20-minute expository talk aimed at post-calculus undergraduate students. These talks should excite undergraduates about mathematics and abstracts should be written to appeal to undergraduates. Each participant in this session will receive private feedback on his or her presentation from an established faculty member and an undergraduate student. Some funding to cover transportation costs (up to $600) is available. Funded presenters are expected to take full part in the meeting. Information on travel support is available at www.maa.org/students/grad/. New Abstract Submission Deadline of June 12. The session is co-sponsored by the MAA Committee on Graduate Students and The Young Mathematicians' Network. Questions on this session can be directed to Jim Freeman at jfreeman@cornellcollege.edu. |
