The Department of Mathematics and The
Center for Advanced Mathematical Sciences are organizing the Summer
Research Camp in Mathematics. The program offers
an exciting research experience to our undergraduate community and help
them exploring Mathematics. Students engage in research work with their peers under the guidance of a professor over 6-8 weeks. They are invited to work on problems that do not require substantial background but are nevertheless of interest to the community, with results worth being published. By participating in the camp, students learn to collaborate as a team, extend classroom knowledge to the realm of research, and naturally improve their chances of pursuing successful graduate studies.
2025 Edition:
The call for applicaitons is now open. In case you wish to be part of the program, please write an email to Florian Bertrand with the following:
1. Brief motivation statement. We need to understand that you are passionate about Math.
2. Your Summer plans. The program is enjoyable but intensive, with a heavy in-person component. We need to understand that you will be able to commit, be dedicated and active. In case you are planning on taking Summer courses, please mention the courses and their timings.
3. Most recent transcript. Please indicate the courses you are following right now. The GPA, and grades you got into specific proof based courses such as MATH 210 or 219 (at least A-), will matter in the selection process.
4. Please indicate your interest: Algebra (Abstract Algebra, Number Theory), Analysis (Harmonic Analysis, Complex Analysis, Partial Differential Equations), Numerical Analysis, Statistics, and Probability.
This Summer, the camp will start on Monday June 2, 2025.
