WELCOME RECEPTION FOR UNDERGRADUATES IN NEW ORLEANSBy Betty Mayfield, Hood Co"ege

The Sheraton Hotel was alive with mathematical – and other – chatter at the undergraduate reception on Thursday night at the Joint Meetings. Approximately two hundred students attended the event, which featured New Orleans specialties such as King Cake and (non-alcoholic) Hurricanes.

Students made new friends and greeted old ones at the hour-long reception; members of CUSAC mingled with the students, welcoming them and answering questions. A handout listing meeting events of special interest to students was available; students seemed to appreciate some help in navigating the thick meeting program!

Almost five hundred undergraduates participated in the Joint Meetings this year – a new record. CUSAC is happy to be able to welcome them at this annual social event.

THE UNDERGRADUATE POSTER SESSION AT THE JMMBy Diana Thomas, Montclair State University

Every year the number of poster entries increases tremendously and this year was no exception. There were a total of 175 poster submissions on topics ranging from the spread of fear to elliptic curves. Every student who presented a poster had an interesting account of their research experience and its consequent impact. I was able to talk to several students about their experience prior to the session and share a few of them with you here.

It is with pride that I note the dedication and enthusiasm with which our mathematics community reaches out to undergraduates in order to engage them in a research experience. Many undergraduate students are approached in their individual classes by their professors. Victor Camacho, a mathematics major at Harvey Mudd College began his research project on a generalization of the Burgers Equation, a partial differential equation model describing turbulence in viscous fluids, after an interesting proposal was provided by his professor John Jacobson. He was very passionate about his research and is interested in continuing his work upon returning to Harvey Mudd. Other students are able to generate and focus research interest through REUs. Mathew Stamps attended an REU at Valparaiso University that involved undergraduates in research on a range of different topics. He discovered he really enjoyed pure mathematics, and as a result, on returning to his home intuition of Grand Valley State University asked his advisor David Austin for an appropriate research topic. His work resulted in his prize winning poster on Circle Packings and Penrose Tilings.

One of the wonderful aspects of the poster session is that it provides not only the raw academic results of student research but also the personal excitement and electricity of student achievement. As I passed Adam Gouge’s poster on Affinely Self-Generating Sets and Morphisms, he proudly held up page proofs of his paper accepted only a week ago at the Journal of Integer Sequences. Adam had responded to flyers at Truman State University advertising the STEP program. His consequent work with David Garth from Truman State University led to the publication and his poster at the session. Each student I spoke to had similar high impact stories and they were delighted to be able to share their experiences with our mathematics community.

Management of the poster session was handled by a large group of mathematicians, MAA/AMS staff and student volunteers. There were over 180 professional mathematicians who volunteered as judges for the poster session this year! A large percentage of former judges returned to judge this year and I thank them for their continued support of the session. Every year Aparna Higgins from the University of Dayton recruits Project NExT fellows to judge the session and we certainly could not run the judging portion without their involvement. As the poster session continues to grow, Jim Tattersall (Associate Secretary of the MAA), Michael Pearson (Director of Programs and Services), Hal Nesbitt (MAA Program Coordinator), and Donna Salter (AMS Program Coordinator), continue to improve and streamline the application process and coordination of the event on that day. Suzanne Lenhart, Chair of the

Committee on Undergraduate Research, organized awards and the judging table on the day of the event. Michael O’Leary from Towson State University set up a new electronic scoring system, which cut down scoring time by an hour. Members of MAA Committee on Student Activities and Chapters spent time assisting in organization of the session on the day of the event. I would like to specially thank Margaret Robinson from Mount Holyoke College who came before the session started and stayed till the session was over putting out many fires. In addition, Mario Martelli from Claremont McKenna College who organized and grew the session to the event it is today continues to assist me with organizational aspects and scoring. Many more people were involved in running the session smoothly and to all of them we express our appreciation. We expect the session to continue to grow and I look forward to seeing everyone in San Diego next year!

MAA CHAPTER ADVISOR’S BREAKFASTBy J. Lyn Mi"er, Slippery Rock University

Bright and early at 7 am on Sunday, the MAA Student Chapter Advisors' Breakfast was an eye-opener of delicious New Orleans cuisine and lively discussion. The discussion centered on an idea from the MAA Strategic Plan Committee regarding revitalizing the concept of MAA student chapters (but not necessarily individual student membership). The following question provided focus:

"Suppose the MAA recreated what it means to be a student chapter to be the following:1) Any department ordering a bulk subscription of Math Horizons magazine would also be given an equal number of free memberships to the local MAA student chapter.2) The person receiving and distributing the magazine would be designated the Chapter Advisor, and this person would submit to the MAA a list of students who would then be chapter members.3) These students would have some of the benefits of MAA membership, at no cost to them, and the MAA would no longer need to provide the overhead of maintaining accurate student mailing information.How would this suggestion work for your department?"

As this suggestion is still hypothetical, the comments of the attending Advisors were very welcome:

Regarding the Current Embodiment of Chapters:• “We do have free student memberships (with institutional membership) but need better information

about their benefits and how to activate them.”• “There is a lot of overlap between the role and membership of an MAA Student Chapter, a local

Math Club, and an honorary chapter. There really only needs to be one group organizing activi-ties at an institution.”

• “Most of us have a single umbrella group that's open to all. Chapter membership is more inclusive and lets departments reach all students, not just the top few.”

• “MAA needs more consistent communication with advisors and liaisons, and up-to-date informa-tion on who is one.”

• “Why not just throw out the student chapters? That's been discussed before.”

Regarding Rationale for the New Suggestion:• “There's no commitment required of the students for this subscription, yet there clearly is one re-

quired for paying dues. Students seem to have more interest if they have something invested.”• “Students are turned off by the current idea of dues, no matter how inexpensive. This ̀ gets them in

the door’ of the organization; after that, we hope they'd find further value besides just the maga-zine.”

• “It's easier to get money for bulk subscriptions than for student memberships.”• “We shouldn't have two classes of membership: chapter versus individual.”


PAGE 5

• “The distinction between chapter members and student members gives schools more flexibility.”• “We should make being a student member more worthwhile, not cheaper. The MAA should focus

on other aspects besides price.” (This is precisely the charge of the new MAA Associate Director for Student Programs.)

Regarding Logistical Issues of the New Suggestion:

• “Students should still receive Focus, to emphasize the professional nature of the organization as a whole.”

• “There should be clear and continued communication between the MAA and the advisors, so that this isn't just a ‘hand it out and be done with it’ process.”

• “Send email announcements to students regularly. Also get some hard address information in order to recruit them as full members after graduation.”

• “Set the required number of subscriptions low enough to work for small schools.” (Basing it on some percentage of the number of majors was suggested.)

• “Keep the old options also for departments who don't have institutional support for this plan. Al-low them to charge dues themselves to defray the cost.”

• “Students want something on their resume, such as being an officer. Membership cards would be nice, too.”

• “`Some benefits of membership’ likely means everything but voting; is this consistent with now?”• “We should recruit all undergrads, not just those planning on graduate work, and retaining and re-

cruiting grad students will become more important. There’s attrition among both groups: could they somehow foster each other?”

The majority of advisors believed this new definition of a student chapter would help their institution’s situation, but some do find it detrimental. Where does your department weigh in? Let us know!

CUSAC DIVERSITY INITIATIVEBy Kay Somers, Moravian Co"ege

The Committee on Undergraduate Student Activities and Chapters (CUSAC) of the MAA helped bring 47 students from underrepresented

groups to the January 2007 Joint Mathematics Meetings. The program, called the Diversity Initiative, provided mini-travel grants to help departments send students from underrepresented groups to the Joint Meetings. This year the Diversity Initiative helped fourteen faculty involve their students in the student poster session, the MAA lecture for students, student talks and much more. In all, 20 of the students supported by this initiative contributed posters and two of the students presented talks.

A STUDENT’S PERSPECTIVE OF THE JMMBy Kim Romane"i, Slippery Rock University

I am so extremely glad that I had the opportunity to go to New Orleans and be a part of this year’s National MAA/AMS Conference. This experience was absolutely invaluable to me. Not only was it informative, but I also had a great time. We got a bit of free time to see some of the city and have some fun after the meetings were through. It was moving to still be able to see some of devastation that occurred in the city. But it was also inspiring to see the buildings that were repaired and refurbished. I was very excited to have the opportunity to get to know some people from the math department that I never really got to talk to before this trip. Now we have some classes together and I think it is definitely going to make me feel more comfortable asking someone for help if I need it.

As for the meeting itself, it was a little hard to find talks that weren’t over our heads, since it was geared more towards mathematicians with PhDs and Master’s degrees. With [our advisor’s] suggestions and the little arrows in the program though, we were able to find some really interesting things to listen to. One talk that really stuck in my mind was the speech about the Bernoulli brothers and their history. I went in thinking it was going to be boring, but afterwards I realized I had really enjoyed it. The speaker knew what he was talking about and made it interesting to listen to. I was able to go to a couple of the talks on Sudoku puzzles and mathematical concepts behind the game, so that was also something that I was able to follow the whole way through. The talk about geometry in the movies and how math concepts were so integral in animation was also intriguing. There was a presentation about origami boxes and

maximum volume, better poker hands and card tricks, The Price is Right! probabilities, and females in the mathematics field.

In addition to the “fun” talks we attended, we also went to a few more serious discussions, like the panel discussion on undergraduate careers in mathematics, talks about teaching math to kids who don’t want to learn it, and numerous historical lectures. The Josiah Willard Gibbs Lecture was phenomenal. The number of mathematicians was amazing. I felt a little smarter just for being around so many brilliant people.

An aspect of the conference that I really liked was having the chance to see Slippery Rock professors in their professional element. We were able to make it to Dr. Szymanski’s talk, which completely went over our heads, and a panel discussion on actuarial sciences that Dr. Buck was on.

The student hospitality room was also very entertaining. They had candy, puzzles, and games as well as old Math Horizons magazines that we could look through. I got the chance to talk to a few other undergraduates that were presenting a poster at the poster session on Sunday. They were really nice girls. The poster session was a good way to see what types of research other undergraduates are doing and the presentations they can put together. The room was extremely crowded, so I didn’t get an especially good look at most of the posters, but I did get the gist of most of them and was able to write down some topics that seemed like they would be especially interesting if I am ever able to start some research of my own. Some of the issues were especially impressive in their complexity and detail.

STUDENT HOSPITALITY SUITEBy Richard Neal, American Society for the Communication of Mathematics

The Student Hospita l i ty Center at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in New Orleans was a popu la r p l ace for s tudents . Students played mathematical ca rd games , worked on mathemat ica l puzz le s , l e f t materials there between talks for safe keeping, and just visited. Spontaneous activities accompany g roups o f s tudents get t ing

together for the first time. One s tudent wrote h i s f a vor i te equation on the board and invited others to write theirs. Before the end of the week, the board was graced with dozens of equations, some famous, some cr y ptic . Whi le v i s i t ing the Student Hospitality Center, students enjoyed refreshments of fruit punch and an assortment of other

snacks. The Student Hospitality Center i s sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America. Dr. Richard Neal and his wife Aracel i manage the Student Hospitality Center at both the winter meetings and the summer meetings.

PANEL PRESENTATIONBy Jody Sorensen, Augsburg Co"ege

Have you ever looked for exciting ways to engage your students outside of the classroom? On the Friday of the 2007 Joint Mathematics Meetings in New Orleans, the Committee on Undergraduate Student Activities and Chapters sponsored a panel discussion called Engaging Students in Research, Clubs, Student Chapters, and Internships. Kay Somers and Jody Sorensen led the session, in which four

panelists spoke to a large, receptive audience. First up was Richard Zang from the University of New Hampshire, who spoke about including tutoring of at-risk youth as an optional component of a finite math course. Next, Deanna Haunsperger of Carleton College and the MAA spoke about MAA Student Chapters and the many ways they can enliven a department. Third to speak was Angela Spalsbury of Youngstown State University who spoke about creating an undergraduate mathematics conference. Her conference consists solely of talks by undergraduates, and includes students speaking about their solutions from a modeling competition. Angela and Deanna

highlighted the MAA-NSF RUMC grant, which provides funding for regional undergraduate math conferences. The final panelist was Gary Gordon from Lafayette College, who spoke about getting students involved in undergraduate research based on his experience leading an REU program. Following initial statements from the panelists, the audience asked a lot of great questions about implementation of these experiences.
