DIMACS 2006 High School Student Research Conference

April 22, 2006
DIMACS Center, CoRE Bldg, Rutgers University

Organizers:

Fred S. Roberts, DIMACS, Rutgers University, froberts@dimacs.rutgers.edu

We would like to extend an invitation to teachers and students to participate in this annual event that features presentations by high school students. The format has changed from past years to encourage more types of student presentations, including original research they did and research topics they learned about in class, assignments, or independent study. See "Call for Participation"

The themes for the conference in 2006 are:

• The Biology/Math Interface: Topics in Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Epidemiology, Ecology, etc.
• Graph Theory and its Applications
• Discrete Mathematics including combinatorics, probability, matrix games, designs, etc.

A well-known researcher who is an excellent expositor will be our keynote speaker.

Students who do not want to present are also invited to attend.

The conference is a wonderful opportunity for students to show off what they have done or what they have learned. We hope many students and their teachers will want to participate.

Lunch will be served to all participants and awards for participation will be given to student presenters.

We look forward to seeing you in April.

• Important Reimbursement Information

  Attendees who have been offered support should keep two rules in mind. Reimbursement for air travel can only be made for travel on US Flag Carriers, REGARDLESS OF COST. (For example, travel on airlines such as United, Continental, USAir, and others that are United States based are allowable. Travel on airlines such as Lufthansa, SAS, Air Canada and other airlines based outside the US cannot be reimbursed by DIMACS.)

  The second rule to keep in mind is to get original receipts for all reimbursable expenses.

• If you're coming from abroad, check the latest visa requirements (they are changing all the time) and get an early start on obtaining a visa.
