St. Lawrence Hosting Undergraduate Mathematics Conference

CANTON - St. Lawrence University is hosting this year's Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference on campus April 19. The conference is held annually, and attended by faculty and students from nearly 100 colleges, universities and community colleges throughout New York and New England.

The goal of the conference is to provide undergraduates with the experience of attending and/or presenting at a professional mathematics meeting designed primarily with the student in mind. Twenty-one students from St. Lawrence are among those scheduled to give presentations.

The Mathematical Association of America awarded St. Lawrence's department of mathematics, computer science and statistics a grant of $4,500 to help support hosting the conference, with additional funding provided by the Paul and Kay Taheri Mathematics Fund, created in honor of St. Lawrence University Professor of Mathematics Dante Giarrusso.
