PME is pleased to be organizing both a Student Poster Session & Contributed Paper Session at JMM 2024! The 2024 Joint Mathematics Meeting will be in San Francisco from January 3rd-January 6th.

AMS-PME Student Poster Session:

Friday, January 5th, 2024

Session 1: Friday, 12:00pm-1:30pm

Session 2: Friday, 3:30pm-5:00pm

These sessions feature research done by undergraduate students. First-year graduate students are eligible to present if their research was completed while they were still undergraduates. Research by high school students can be accepted if the research was conducted under the supervision of a faculty member at a post-secondary institution.

Appropriate content for a poster includes, but is not limited to, a new result, a new proof of a known result, a new mathematical model, an innovative solution to a Putnam problem, or a method of solution to an applied problem. Purely expository material is not appropriate for this session.

The deadline to submit abstracts for the poster session on the JMM portal is Tuesday, September 26, 2023. Click here to submit your abstract on the JMM portal. Scroll down to PME and click Begin A Submission.
