The Monroe Martin Talks is a competition: speakers give 15-minute talks in which they communicate a mathematical idea or method to the general mathematical community. The talks should be aimed at the level of a general mathematical audience (i.e. an audience with some mathematical background, but not consisting of experts in the speaker's field) and should convey an idea worth sharing. Speakers can feel free to discuss their own research, but there is no requirement to do so. The talks will be judged on their content and presentation by a panel of past winners.
