2017 LA-TX Undergraduate Mathematics Conference

The LA-TX Undergraduate Mathematics Conference is a forum for sharing undergraduate research activities in mathematics among the University of Houston, Texas A&M University, and Louisiana State University. We believe that traveling to present, hear, and share mathematics generates enthusiasm and stimulates the intellect, in turn preparing undergraduate students for life after graduation, whether it be post-graduate studies or employment in research laboratories or industry.
