Go Golden Knights! Join in Clarkson’s competitive tradition through 19 men's and women's varsity teams, along with numerous intramural and club sports and a wide variety of fitness classes and organized outdoor activities. More than 80 percent of Clarkson students join intramural teams competing in soccer, football, broomball, 3-on-3 basketball, 5-on-5 basketball, ice hockey, volleyball and indoor soccer. Check on schedules, scores, rosters, hours of operations, traditions and more.

See why at Clarkson we are the place and time to defy convention by continually asking “What’s next?” The answers can come from anywhere—undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff and alumni—and we expect (and respect) the unexpected.

Graduate Student Information

Graduate Students in the mathematical sciences are invited to present their work at SLVMS III. This is an "undergraduate mathematics conference," which means that all presentations should be appropriate for an undergraduate audience! All presentations will be 20 minutes in length, including questions.

Registration Deadline: November 1, 2010

Abstract Submission Deadline EXTENDED: October 29, 2010

To Register: Send an email to Dr. Derek Habermas (habermds@potsdam.edu) of SUNY Potsdam with your

Full name,
Institution, and
Student status (i.e. that you're a graduate student)

If You Would Like To Present Include (in your registration email):

Title of your proposed presentation
Abstract for your presentation that clearly indicates the required mathematical background. The background required should not be at a higher level than linear algebra, and preference will be given to presentations at a calculus level. Abstract should not exceed 150 words.
Any special needs for your presentation (All rooms are outfitted with computers and projectors. If you need an overhead projector or any other special technology, please let us know.)

Why Present to Undergraduate Students: Everyone who will eventually work in academia will have to teach or present mathematics to undergraduate students, but this is a skill that is not often taught to graduate students in the mathematical sciences. Many of you will give “job talks” to an undergraduate audience, and you will be judged on your ability to present interesting mathematics to an undergraduate audience. Those working in industry are also required to communicate mathematics to a broad audience and can benefit from the experience of presenting to undergraduate students.

If you have questions on how to formulate a presentation for undergraduate students, feel free to contact Dr. Aaron Luttman (aluttman@clarkson.edu) of Clarkson University, and he will be happy to help you put together an appropriate presentation.

We will notify you that we have received your registration and if your abstract has been accepted.
