Call for Papers
The Rose-Hulman conference has from its inception been focused on
undergraduates presenting their mathematical findings. We invite presentations in
any area of mathematics, statistics, or data science; however, we especially encourage talks related to
humanitarian efforts, as these relate to the conference theme. A presentation
can be about work done in an REU, senior thesis, independent study, or an interesting
class project. The conference aims to provide a pleasant atmosphere in which students can initiate
their foray into mathematical presentation. All talks, with the exception of plenaries,
are presented by undergraduates, for undergraduates, and
(largely) to undergraduates. While the conference organizers reserve the right to reject a submission
if it is deemed inappropriate, generally all abstracts submitted are accepted for presentation. The
deadline for submitting an abstract is 11:59pm on April 15, 2016.
Each presenter will be given 20 minutes for their presentation. Talks will be given in
parallel sessions throughout the conference. All speakers must register for the conference in
order to present a talk. An abstract for the presentation is to be submitted via the online
registration system; the online registration can be accessed via the link on the left-hand side of
this site.
Speaker Guidelines:
- You will be allotted 20 minutes. You should plan to leave a couple of
minutes at the end of your presentation for questions.
- A chair will be assigned to facilitate each session.
The chair will introduce the speakers, assist
in the distribution of any handouts, signal the end of the
presentation, and ask for questions from the audience.
- If handouts are to be provided, give them to the chair prior
to the beginning of your session. Plan to bring about 50 handouts
and be prepared to give attendees your email address in case the supply
runs out.
- Do not plan to present so much detailed material that your presentation
becomes rushed. Focus on providing the audience with insight
into your topic and its key notions during the presentation.
A well-chosen specific example can be far more memorable than a
lot of theory. Remember that very few members of the audience will
be experts in the field you are discussing.
- The use of PowerPoint or Beamer slides is generally expected.
Make sure that the font size is big enough to be seen clearly
50 to 100 feet away. Simply copying or displaying ordinary
typewritten pages will be insufficient for most audience
members.
- Here is an excellent video guide to giving good presentations.
