Majoring in Mathematics or interested in switching your major to math? This conference is for you!
This year's Southern Regional Algebra Conference (SRAC) is right here at UHD, making it easy for UHD students to attend. Under the leadership of Drs. Jean Bernard Nganou (Chair), Ali Duman (co-Chair), and Kumar (co-Chair), SRAC begins at noon on Friday, March 22 through noon on Sunday, March, 24, 2024. All conference activities will be held in rooms SSB-108, SSB-113, SSB-119 of the Marilyn Davies College of Business building. Better yet, there's no fee to register, and the conference is open to all. Mathematics majors are especially encouraged to attend.
SRAC features 30 to 40 talks and brings together nearly 60 mathematicians, all professors and graduate students who are conducting research in algebra and its applications in cryptography, geometry, and other areas. The conference is open to all, and Mathematics majors are especially encouraged to attend.
"SRAC offers a great opportunity for UHD's Department of Mathematics and Statistics to showcase its research in the area of algebra," said Dr. Nganou. "For our UHD students, it is a unique opportunity to witness Mathematics research and its applications in action from their own backyard, which can often spark the desire to pursue a career in mathematics."
The Southern Regional Algebra Conference (SRAC) is an annual weekend conference that has been in existence since 1988 with its first edition held at the University of Southern Mississippi. Each year, around the second half of the month of March, the conference is hosted by a university from the Gulf Coast region. Recent conferences were held at the University of Louisiana Lafayette, Georgia College and State University, and Tulane University.
SRAC 2024 is generously sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the College of Science and Technology, and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
