The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) and the University of Greenwich are holding the Undergraduate Mathematics Conference 'Tomorrow's Mathematicians Today' at the University of Greenwich on 6 February 2010.

The University of Greenwich Department of Mathematical Sciences, in conjunction with The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), is holding the inaugural Undergraduate Mathematics Conference in London on Saturday 6th February 2010. The keynote speaker will be Professor Ian Stewart, who earlier this year was the first recipient of the Christopher Zeeman Medal, awarded jointly by the LMS and the IMA for his work on promoting mathematics.

This will be a fascinating day which will give participants the opportunity to learn about a wide range of mathematics which has excited their peers. The aim of the conference is to enable final year (and other) undergraduates to give presentations on mathematical topics of their choice.

Mathematics students will benefit enormously from this in a number of ways. Those going into research will gain experience of the process of conference submission, while those going into the workplace will gain valuable experience to enhance their CVs and career prospects. All delegates will gain insights into a wide range of mathematics of potential value in their future careers. It should be a wonderfully enjoyable day of inspiring mathematics. It is hoped that the conference will also attract employers, presenting a useful opportunity for participants to gain information about career possibilities.

Undergraduates are invited to apply to present a short (20 minute max) talk on any mathematical topic of their choosing. Abstracts, giving an overview of the proposed talk, should be limited to 200 words. Abstracts of proposed presentations should be submitted by email by 18 December 2009. Authors will be informed of the outcome by the beginning of January 2010.

In order to encourage students to attend it is important that this conference be free to students so it is requested that Universities make a financial contribution of £10/person up to a maximum of £100 to help us cover costs.
