The "Students Talk Research" Seminar (STaRS) is focused on exploring accessible and engaging problems in mathematics. This seminar is designed for undergraduate students, offering challenges that appeal to both beginners and more experienced attendees.

Presentations will be delivered by undergraduate or graduate students involved in various math research projects. Speakers are encouraged to prepare their talks to be accessible to anyone with a background in Calculus I or II, and all presenters must complete at least one rehearsal with the STaRS organizer before their presentation.

If you are an undergraduate or TAMS student interested in joining the STaRS mailing list, please e-mail Dr. Kiko Kawamura at kiko.kawamura@unt.edu with the subject line "STaRS".
