AMS Meeting in Atlanta

The big AMS Meeting is in Atlanta this coming January.

Mason Porter is encouraging undergrads to participate in the undergrad poster session.

He writes: To participate in the poster session, you need to submit material ASAP
because space is limited. (It's really important for Georgia Tech to have a good showing here.) All material should be submitted by e-mail to Mario
Martelli (mmartelli@claremontmckenna.edu). Acceptable formats are tex, pdf and word. You need to submit the following:
1. project title
2. abstract (<= 1/2 page) 3. names and affiliations of all authors
4. name, email, and telephone # for student who will be the contact person for the logistics of the presentation
5. name(s) and affiliation(s) of advisors 6. sources of finanial support [much less relevant for you than
for undergrads traveling from elsewhere; I think this is an issue of preventing no-shows]

The best posters get prizes! I was a judge last year and the work you guys have done kicks the crap out of most of the stuff that was there (not that I'm biased or anything), so if you design a good poster, your chances are very good! Plus, you'll make some nice connections with people, so this really can be _substantially_ helpful for graduate school.
