The first annual UMaRch Conference Puerto Rico will be hosted by the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez (UPRM), on February 27, 2015. Registration is open to participants from schools and institutes of higher learning from all over the island. It is a one-day conference held on the same day as SIDIM XXX, before the latter starts. SIDIM XXX also will be hosted at UPRM. In this way undergraduate students will have the opportunity to interact with local and visiting faculty.
Visiting faculty will have also the opportunity to recruit students for their REUs, undergraduate conferences, etc. The main purpose of this activity is to establish the month of March as one of mathematical awareness on the island, starting with UMaRch, followed by SIDIM and continued locally in all the mathematical centers throughout the island.
