Announcement

The Mathematics Departments at UTD, SMU, and UTA would like to host a virtual poster competition that is open to undergraduate and graduate students on May 7, 2021.

Contributed presentations are invited in all areas of mathematics. A poster format involves a one-page PDF file preferably in landscape orientation with a 2-min video explaining the poster. Each contributor must submit a title and a brief abstract not to exceed 100 words to Yifei.lou@utdallas.edu by March 31. The poster and video should be submitted by April 30.

The poster session is scheduled at 1-4 pm on May 7, 2021, when each contributor has 5 minutes to present their work to judges. Here are the winning teams with their posters/videos.
