Note: The Electronic Proceedings of Undergraduate Mathematics Day are now available in the Digital Commons journal platform. 

Undergraduate Mathematics Day at the University of Dayton (UMD) is held in November of odd-numbered years. It celebrates undergraduate mathematics in all its forms: research, history, teaching, and learning. One purpose of UMD is to provide a platform for undergraduate students to experience the excitement of investigation in the world of mathematics. The conference allows an opportunity for students to present results; the electronic proceedings gives the student experience to formally write a research or expository article. The articles are refereed for correctness and style.

The conference coincides with the annual Schraut Memorial Lecture, named Kenneth “Doc” Schraut, a mathematics faculty member from 1940 to 1978 and department chair from 1954 to 1970.

In addition to the conference papers, this series also contains posters, programs and other materials from the event.
