Resources

Competitions

• The Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)® The Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM), a contest for high-school and undergraduate students (US and international) 

• MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge, a competition for high-school students (US and England). See a brief video here. 

• SIMIODE: a community (students/faculty, US/international) for Systemic Initiative for Modeling Investigations and Opportunities with Differential Equations. This includes Challenge Using Differential Equations Modeling  

• Putnam competition for undergraduate students in US and Canada (but with past problems and solutions available to all)

• Mathematical olympiads (high-school or lower). See for example AMC. Your professors/teachers should be able to assist you in locating the proper olympiad in your country.

Research opportunities

• The list of research experience for undergraduate programs: Math REU Programs and NSF REUs. Most are for US citizens/permanent residents only, but some allow international students.  

• Polymath Junior Collaborative summer research experience for undergraduate students (US and international)  

Associations, unions and other communities

While many associations require paid memberships, student membership is often deeply discounted or can even be for free. Students in US (and elsewhere) are encouraged to talk to faculty members in their department as their university may offer membership for all faculty/students.

Many countries have various mathematics and statistics organizations. We cannot list them all but ask your professors who should be able to help you locate one in your region.

• Mathematical Association of America

• American Mathematical Society

• African Mathematical Union

• Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

• Council of Undergraduate Research

• Unión Matemática de América Latina y el Caribe

• American Statistical Association

• http://www.ams.org/membership/membership/mem-reciprocity: A convenient list of website links to various mathematics organizations around the world that have reciprocity agreement with the American Mathematical Society.

• COMAP offers free memberships to students

Conferences

Check out calendars of the above associations as many of them organize regular and frequent conferences, in the US, internationally as well as online; see for example SIAM.

• Online Undergraduate Resource Fair for the Advancement and Alliance of Marginalized Mathematicians 

• International E-Conference on Mathematical and Statistical Sciences

• UNCG Regional Mathematics and Statistics Conference
