The mathematics department was very well represented on 5 April 2025 at the 6th annual Math for All Conference at Tulane University. Thirteen of our graduate students attended the meeting and six, Nazia Afrin, Neerob Basak, Sajan Bhandari, Narendra Pant, Kamlesh Sarkar, and Chimezie Izuazu, gave poster presentations.
The Math For All Conference on math education and research was created to provide a welcoming "first conference" environment with the goal of supporting and retaining students interested in Mathematics. This conference is targeted at undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs, and faculty members from all institutions and its main goal is to provide a friendly, open environment to learn and discuss mathematics. In addition to the in-person events at Tulane there were in-person events at 5 other locations. The in-person Plenary Talk by Dave Kung was titled "My Journey in Math – a personal and statistical exploration" and the shared virtual Plenary Talk by Keri Ann Sather-Wagstaff was titled "How Much Is Enough?".
When asked about the conference, Sajan commented "It was a short but eventful conference. I really liked Dr. Dave Kung's plenary talk titled-"My Journey in Math – a personal and statistical exploration". I also got to meet some enthusiastic undergraduate students from Tulane University and shared my experience as a graduate student at UL Lafayette. Overall, it was a memorable day for me." Nazi added "Since last year, I have been attending the Math for All conference. Next year, I plan to join as well. This time, Dr. Dave Kung's plenary presentation was quite engaging. The conference organizers' hospitality is exceptional as always. The fact that it's close to Lafayette is crucial."
