MAA – research Presentation

Why?

ð lots of fun

ð builds your resume for graduate school or industry position

ð personal exposure to the world of mathematics and science

ð trains you how to do research, to write reports/papers, to present your work

ð builds your confidence

ð grant money

What do you need?

ð Talent

ð time commitment (at least 2 semester commitment)

ð persistence

ð optimism

ð attend MAA chapter meeting to get info and then ask a faculty

Results?

ð a published article

ð a poster presentation

ð a talk (KSU and/or conferences)

ð grants

My Research Area?
