Conferences and Research

• Nothing more effectively demonstrates the value of undergraduate research than the words and stories of the student participants themselves. Each Spring the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) hosts its annual undergraduate poster session on Capitol Hill. This event will help members of Congress understand the importance of undergraduate research by talking directly with the students whom these programs impact.
  Each fall, CUR calls for students of member institutions to submit an abstract of their research that represents any of CUR's disciplinary divisions (Arts and Humanities, Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences, Health Sciences, Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics/Astronomy, Psychology, and Social Sciences). In order to ensure proper review of applications, the above are the only disciplines that may apply. Should your research be inter-disciplinary, please select the division that most closely describes your research.
  Abstract submissions will only be accepted by using CUR's on-line submission form. Prior to submitting the form, you should gather the contact information for all co-authors, advisors and sponsors (if applicable), prepare a short vitae/resume, and poster abstract. A PDF document listing the information required for submission is available.
  This year's applications are due November 15, 2010. Click here for more information about the Posters on the Hill program.

Each week there will be a new problem. Solutions must be written (or in LaTeX format), and should be given to Professor Hwang by the due date. The first correct solution received from a Holy Cross student will earn Fame and a Candy Bar! (How can you resist...?)

Thesis Resources

Most mathematical writing these days is done with LaTeX, a professional-quality typesetting program that is available at no cost for all common computer platforms. Quick references, manuals, sample document files, and other materials can be found on the Holy Cross LaTeX Resources page. The software page has additional links.
