Math Fest is the annual Graduate Student Conference at the University of Oklahoma - where grad students give talks for a grad student audience. The event will feature a variety of talks from our colleagues related to their research and/or math topics that they find interesting. Complementary breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided for attendees and speakers. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. We will also have a brief town hall at the end of the day to get peer feedback about past/future MGSA events. [Schedule]
