Congratulations to Patrick Fitzsimmons and Murray Rosenblatt, both of whom have been selected to the 2014 Class of the Fellows of the American Mathematical Society (AMS).

UCSD is hosting the Western Algebraic Geometry Symposium (WAGS) from November 9-10, 2013.

The "Conference on Stark's Conjectures and Related Topics" will be held here at UCSD from September 20th through September 22, 2013. For more information, visit the conference website

CAARMS (Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences) 19 will be held at UCSD from July 24-27, 2013. The program will include invited speakers, tutorials, and a graduate student poster session. The conference spotlights the accomplishments of mathematicians from underrepresented minority backgrounds, and is open to all. Conference Website.

Join cognitive scientist Rafael Nunez along with Cindy Lawrence and Glen Whitney, Co-Directors of the National Museum of Mathematics as they discuss the interplay between physical experience and mathematical cognition and intuition. Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - 5:30-7:30pm Atkinson Hall Auditorium. Free to the public. RSVP: Info@imagination.ucsd.edu

Our sincere congratulations to this year's Honors students: - Camille Briat (Random-to-Random Shuffles)
- Greg Edwards (On Genus Zero Stable Maps To The Flag Variety)
- Siuyung Fung (Functions Of Baire Class One)
- Geoff Ganzberger (Some Properties of Rational Points on Elliptic Curves
on their outstanding research projects, their theses, and their terrific public lectures in defense of their work. They have earned the special distinction of an Honors degree. We wish them the best in their future studies and beyond.

Learn about what math majors do, hear talks from graduate students about what math research is all about, present your research (if you've done any) and hear talks from other undergraduates and invited speakers. Saturday, May 11, 10am-4:15pm - sponsored by the Associate for Women in Mathematics. More Information .

Two REU summer programs for students graduating AFTER this summer. 10 week programs for math students with an interest in engineering, physics, material science or optics. Integraded Optics for Undergrads focuses on speeding up the internet and developing energy-saving features for sustainable next-generation optical networks. Hooked on Photonics focuses on improving solar technology. To apply: Integrated Optics for Undergraduates or Hooked on Photonics.
