MAXIMA Summer REU in Interdisciplinary Mathematics
The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) and the Macalester College Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science (MSCS) announce a six-week (June 9 - July 18, 2014) REU in applied mathematics. The program will be hosted at the IMA facilities at the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota (UMN).
Twelve students will work in teams of four on an open research problem in applied mathematics. Topics for summer 2014 are smartphone activity tracking, computer vision, and online communities. These problems have been posed by UMN researchers, and each team will be advised by a MSCS faculty member and will be mentored by an IMA postdoctoral fellow.
Full details, including descriptions from three previous summers, can be found at:
All application materials must be received by February 21, 2014. This program is sponsored by a three-year NSF grant and by the IMA. Please direct any questions to reu@ima.umn.edu.
We look forward to hearing from aspiring undergraduates, Fadil Santosa, Director, Institute for Mathematics and its Applications Andrew Beveridge, Assistant Professor, Macalester College
