Thanks to a conference grant from Pi Mu Epsilon and from the NSF, we continued our TROY MathFest undergraduate mathematics conference. This was our 12th such conference, and our first that was on 2 days. For this year, we had about 110 participants. There were participants from 20 different institutions. There were 34 talks total, 38 of which were by undergraduate students. Our activities included the following: Talks by undergraduates (and 5 faculty), a student poster session, calculus competition with cash prizes for the first five places, graduate school information tables with recruiters,, and invited speakers Professors Madhuri Mulekar and David Leach.. Their talks were entitled "Data Science: Development and Future" and "Lights Out and Linear Algebra," respectively. Lunch and refreshments were provided for all participants.
