Accepted students are invited with support to the conference during a weekend at the Department of Mathematics of the Ohio State University. Highlights of every conference are three plenary lectures by highly accomplished researchers and educators. These talks introduce students to advanced, innovative, and exciting topics in mathematics. Speakers in the past included recipients of the Fields Medal, the MacArthur and Sloan Fellowships, Pólya and Nevanlinna Prizes, as well as of the Haimo, Chauvenet, and Allendoerfer Awards for excellence in exposition and teaching. In addition to student and plenary presenters, the YMC has much to offer future mathematicians. The YMC includes a Graduate School Orientation event in which representatives from various PhD programs from around the country provide information and insights about a graduate career in mathematics. Moreover, the YMC presents a venue for young mathematicians to collaborate, and share ideas. Finally, the YMC regularly invites faculty mentors of undergraduate research projects. Besides chairing sessions and accompanying mentees, they exchange their experiences during the traditional mentor breakfast as well as other social occasions. Plenary Speakers Corina Calinescu (NYC College of Technology, CUNY) Title: Algebraic and combinatorial aspects of vertex operator algebras Karen Smith (University of Michigan) Title: Resolution of Singularities Francis Edward Su (Harvey Mudd College) Title: A polytopal generalization of Sperner's lemma Various Locations - See Program Department of Mathematics math@osu.edu America/New_York public
