Canadian Undergraduate Mathematics Conference

The Canadian Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (CUMC) is an annual gathering of undergraduate mathematics students at a Canadian university. The host school for a given year is determined by an election process during the previous year's gathering. CUMCs are usually held during the summer, for a period of approximately four days. CUMCs are intended to be bilingual (English and French).

To date, thirteen meetings have taken place. The inaugural session, as well as the most recent meeting, were held at the McGill University campus in Montreal. CUMC meetings typically draw between 100 and 150 participants.

Student participants are encouraged to give talks (25 or 50 minutes) on their mathematical research or interests. Student abstracts are usually published online and in a conference kit distributed to participants.

Students at Simon Fraser University, in Vancouver, British Columbia will host the 14th conference in the summer of 2007.
