Georgia Southern to host American Mathematical Society Sectional Meeting at Armstrong Campus
快猫app短视鈥檚 Armstrong Campus will welcome more than 500 attendees to the Spring Southeastern Sectional Meeting of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) March 28-29. The two-day event in Savannah brings together top experts from across the region for presentations ranging from AI to finance. The annual event provides opportunities for students and faculty alike to explore new topics in math. Department of Mathematical Sciences Chair Tricia Brown, Ph.D., notes that events like this provide the backbone of collaborative work that defines modern mathematical research.
鈥淐ollaboration happens not only during the presentations, but in the questions afterward, the discussions in the hallway over coffee or the proverbial back of the napkin at lunch,鈥 said Brown. 鈥淢athematicians use these times to bounce ideas off each other and propose new avenues of research in a way that is hard to do over email. Conversations that start at the meeting lead to more formal back and forth that produce a final written scholarship.鈥
Georgia Southern faculty will lead several sessions targeting a wide range of mathematical applications. Brown says her faculty鈥檚 depth of knowledge and enthusiasm to host this event shows what makes Georgia Southern the perfect place to hold such a gathering.
鈥淚t is great that the department is wholeheartedly supporting this event and we are lucky to have such strong researchers in diverse areas of pure and applied mathematics and statistics,鈥 said Brown.鈥
In addition to the wealth of knowledge the conference presents, Brown believes the spring weather and beauty of the Armstrong Campus make this year鈥檚 event a uniquely engaging event for attendees.
鈥淪avannah is a nice destination city for visitors and the Armstrong Campus is located near the historic downtown as well as convenient to the airport,鈥 said Brown. 鈥淥ur robust facilities can handle the influx of mathematicians with comfort and spring is a great time to enjoy the arboretum.鈥
A full lineup of presentations as well as registration options are available on the AMS website.
