Research Experience for Undergraduates 2012
 |
Overview
THANKS to support from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M WILL host an eight-week Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) from June 4 to July 27 in the summer of 2012. Participants will have the choice of various programs, such as matrix/wavelets anaylsis, the mathematical modeling of ecology and physiology, algorithmic algebraic geometry and number theory. We expect five student participants for each program. Students from groups under-represented in mathematical research are especially encouraged to apply.

Eligibility
Applicants should be highly motivated and successful undergraduates who are comfortable with basic matrix manipulations and elementary linear algebra. Students in the wavelets program should also have some exposure to analysis (epsilon-delta advanced calculus). Students in the ecological/physiological modeling program should have some background in differential equations. Students interested in pursuing statistical modeling in these areas should also have had an introductory statistics course. No special prior experience with mathematical software or computers is required. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents and must not have received their bachelors degree before the start of the summer program.
Stipend and Support
Participating students will be provided free on-campus housing, along with an anticipated stipend of $450 per week, plus subsidized travel to and from College Station.
Application Instructions and Deadlines
Interested students should fill out the on-line application form, mail us a copy (unofficial is fine) of their grade transcripts, and arrange for two letters of recommendation to be mailed directly to us. These recommendation letters should come from faculty who are familiar with the student's work. The transcripts and recommendation letters should be sent to:
