  • 12/7/09: REU at UCLA
    • The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) runs a unique summer program for undergraduate students. The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) provides an opportunity for exceptional students in math and related disciplines to work in teams on real world research projects proposed by a sponsor from industry or a national lab. Sponsors have included Pixar, Microsoft, Symantec, Los Alamos, the Aerospace Corporation, Amgen, Arete, Jet Propulsion Lab, and many others. We encourage all bright, young students to apply, especially women and minorities. This is an educational and very exciting two month program near the heart of Los Angeles at one of the premiere educational institutions in the United States. If accepted the program covers the student’s travel, housing and most meals, and offers a generous stipend. Students immerse themselves in research and learn how to deal with real world problems. In addition to RIPS in Los Angeles, IPAM will again offer RIPS-Beijing in 2010 in partnership with Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA). This is an exciting opportunity for U.S. undergrads to work with Chinese students on projects sponsored by an MSRA research group in China for the summer. English is the only language required for participation. The format is the same as RIPS-LA; two American and two Chinese students will form a team. In addition to the above in 2010 we are starting in another location – RIPS-Berlin in partnership with MATHEON. We’re proud to offer this opportunity for undergrads to work with European students on projects in Germany for the summer. English is the only language required for participation. The format is the same as RIPS-LA; two American and two European students will form a team. The deadline for applications is February 15, 2010. More information can be found here.

  • 11/20/09: REU at Valapariso University
    • The Valparaiso Experience in Research by Undergraduate Mathematicians (VERUM) provides an opportunity for rising sophomore and junior students to engage in a first research experience in mathematics.  The VERUM program is looking for exceptional students who are looking for a research experience that will help them to decide if graduate studies in the mathematical sciences should be part of their future plans.  Being committed to graduate study is not a prerequisite for this program, but rather a desired outcome.  First generation college students, minority students, and women are particularly encouraged to apply. Application Deadline: February 22, 2010, Program Dates: May 31 - July 30, 2010.
