This annual conference, sponsored by GSU’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics on the Atlanta campus, is dual purposed: to highlight undergraduate research at GSU and other schools within the Greater Atlanta Area and to encourage students to consider graduate opportunities in mathematics and statistics.
The year’s conference (2022) is virtual, however, we look forward to offering future conferences on the Atlanta campus.
