Call for Contributed Papers and Posters

The officers of the Southeastern Section of the MAA invite the submission of titles and abstracts for 15-minute contributed papers in all areas of mathematics by college and university faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students, and others to be presented at our 103rd annual meeting Thursday, March 14 to Saturday, March 16 at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. As the Section has declared since its beginning, “Anyone Interested in Mathematics Is Invited to Attend.

Sorry, but abstracts are no longer being accepted after the deadline of Monday, February 5, 2024.

Presenters will be notified of acceptance by Wednesday, February 14 (before the pre-registration deadline for the meeting). Talks will be scheduled in concurrent sessions and organized by the general mathematical area as indicated by the abstract.

In addition to general contributed paper sessions and sessions for undergraduate student presentations, there will be several special sessions on selected mathematical topics. More details for each special session

  • Active Learning in Undergraduate Mathematics. Sutandra Sarkar (Georgia State University), Bill Shillito (Georgia State University), Yuerong Wu (Georgia State University), Draga Vidakovic (Georgia State University)
  • Beyond Mathematics: Interdisciplinary Collaborations. Rachel Grotheer (Wofford College), Anastasia Wilson (Augusta University)
  • Mathematics and the Visual and Performing Arts. Lee Spence (Overleaf), Annie Jennings (Benchmark Physical Therapy/Sheer Inspiration Pole Fitness)
  • Recreational Mathematics. Timothy Goldberg (Lenoir-Rhyne University), Ron Taylor (Berry College)
  • Theory of Integer Sequences. Joshua Siktar (University of Tennessee-Knoxville), Steven J. Miller (Williams College), Hung Viet Chu (Texas A&M University)   

Guidelines for Titles and Abstracts: Abstracts are expected to deal with theory, application, teaching, history, or philosophy of mathematical sciences; they should indicate what the presenter intends to communicate in the allotted time. For multiple authors, the presenting author’s name should be clearly designated; please identify undergraduate and graduate student presenters/authors. The use of special symbols should be considered judiciously; however, if an abstract includes LaTeX formatting, this can be rendered when compiling the abstracts for publication.

Undergraduate Poster Session: Students are encouraged to present research and results of special projects in poster format. The session is scheduled for Saturday morning, concurrent with contributed talks. Abstracts should be submitted through the Submit my Abstract link above no later than Monday, February 5, 2024. Contact organizer Karen O’Hara (kohara@highpoint.edu) if you need additional information.

For any questions about abstract submissions, please contact our Vice Chair of Programs, Andy Miller, at andrew.miller@belmont.edu.
