Northfield Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium
Northfield Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium
October 4, 2017
Regents 210 at St. Olaf
Each year Carleton and St. Olaf students work on a variety of interesting research problems in mathematics, both here in Northfield and around the country. Several of these students will be sharing the work they did this past summer at the 2017 Northfield Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium. Please join us for as many of the talks as you can attend, as well as for dinner. These talks all promise to be fascinating in their own right, but each one also counts for half of one of the eight talks junior and senior math and stats majors need to attend to satisfy their lecture attendance requirement. Below is a schedule for the symposium, followed by the titles for the talks.
