Contributed papers are invited from undergraduate and graduate students, college and university faculty, business and industrial mathematicians and data scientists, and all others who have something to offer toward the ends of the Association. Expository talks, pedagogical innovations, and primary research are all welcome. Talks should be accessible to the broad audience typically represented at these meetings. Abstracts should be submitted at
Please use the "Keywords" section of the abstract submission page to indicate whether you are an undergraduate student, graduate student, faculty, business/industry/government, or other.
Our submission system will prompt you to upload a paper. This is unnecessary except for those speakers submitting their work toward the sections awards for outstanding undergraduate and graduate student research. Those students should submit papers in accordance with the award guidelines.
Travel funds are available to support student attendance at the section meeting. Up to $50 per student is available for Illinois institutions to use in support of student travel, with a max of $200 per institution. Limited funds are available.
We ask that institutions which already provide full support not request these funds. Travel funds are not available to the hosting institution or to institutions within 50 miles of the meeting site. Travel awards are available for all students (secondary, undergraduate, or graduate); however, preference will be given to students presenting at the meeting.
The travel form is available as a Word document or as a PDF document. Please send completed forms electronically to Pat Kiihne (pkiihne@ic.edu) by March 22, 2019.
