Goals

The Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference aims:

1. To inspire undergraduate students at all levels to see themselves as vital participants in a broad mathematical community and, hence, encourage them to persist in the mathematical sciences.

2. To provide undergraduate students from a variety of institutions with an opportunity to learn more about the communities within the mathematical sciences, broadly defined, by interacting and networking with peers and faculty.

3. To encourage undergraduates to engage in mathematical research at many levels by providing them with a professional venue in which to share their mathematical research and scholarship and to practice communicating it through formal talks.

4. To encourage students from underrepresented groups and women to participate in the mathematics, computer science, and statistics communities.
