Title: 2012 Northern California Undergraduate
Mathematics
Conference at CSU Stanislaus
Abstract: Department of Mathematics at CSU Stanislaus is
hosting 2012 Northern California
Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (https://sites.google.com/site/nocalumc/2012-
conference). The main focus of this conference is to showcase
the achievements of undergraduate
students in mathematics and to give these aspiring mathematicians an
opportunity to present
their work in a very supportive environment. Student talks range
from expository presentations
to original undergraduate research. Students may also talk about
their independent study projects
as well as other independent work that goes beyond the standard
course curriculum. Students are
encouraged to participate and give 15 minute presentations on any
area of mathematics, including
applications to other disciplines. In this talk, we will introduce
our conference briefly. In
addition, we will also present the movie called “Infinite Secrets:
The Genius of Archimedes
(NOVA)” by our conference Keynote speaker Dr. Reviel Netz, Professor
of Classics and Philosophy
at Stanford University.
