PME STUDENT SPEAKER AND DELEGATE APPLICATION FORM
Each PME student speaker must complete a copy of this form. Student Pi Mu Epsilon members who are attending this conference, but are not speakers, should complete this form using the “Type of Application: Delegate” option. Up to five speakers per Chapter may be eligible for reimbursement for at least some of their transportation expenses. One delegate from a Chapter with no speakers may be eligible for partial reimbursement of transportation expenses. Additional Pi Mu Epsilon students register as non-reimbursed delegates to the Pittsburgh conference. Application deadline: 5:00 p.m. EDT Friday, June 11, 2010
Although electronic submission is preferred, you may also download and print an equivalent form and mail it so it arrives before Friday, June 12. Send it to:
Important Note: All student speakers and delegates must be members of the chapter at their home institution, which is the one that must nominate them as a speaker or delegate. Since this is an undergraduate conference, all research presented by speakers must have been completed while they were undergraduates. To insure that all work completed as an undergraduate has the chance to be presented, we do permit recently graduated students to present. However, we expect that student speakers and delegates have not completed more than 30 semester hours (or the equivalent) in a graduate program in mathematics (or a related field) prior to July 31, 2010.
Speakers and delegates requesting transportation reimbursement must have been initiated into the chapter at their home institution prior to submission of this application form.
Note: The Chapter Advisor will be contacted to verify PME membershipinformation.

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, SIAM, may offer a prize for an outstanding presentation on applied mathematics. The MAA's Special Interest Group for Environmental Mathematics, SIGMAA-EM, may offer a prize for an outstanding presentation on environmental mathematics. The MAA's Special Interest Group on Biology, BioSIGMAA, may offer a prize for an outstanding presentation on research at the nexus of mathematics and biology
The purpose of the following question is to compile lists of talks that might be eligible for prizes sponsored by SIAM, SIGMAA-EM, and BioSIGMAA.
Please check exactly one of the following four boxes:
Due to the large number of students who wish to present at summer meetings and with a desire to avoid redundancy in their programs, the MAA Committee on Undergraduate Student Activity and Pi Mu Epsilon have agreed not to accept papers submitted by the same student to both paper sessions at MathFest. This applies even if the papers are different. Furthermore, in the case of joint authorship, it is not permissible for one co-author to apply to one session while another submits the same paper to the other session. Under no circumstances will a student be allowed to apply for transportation funds from both organizations. Therefore:
YesNo I agree not to apply to give a paper at the MAA Student Paper Session.
All of the rooms in which the presentations will be given in Pittsburgh will be furnished with a projection system (to use PowerPoint, for example), but students must furnish their own computer and cables to connect to the VGA port of the projector. Neither chalkboards nor overhead projectors for slide transparencies will be provided!
YesNo I understand the equipment policy.
YesNo I am aware that the 15 minute time limit for presentations will be strictly enforced.
