SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES
An undergraduate student's summer can be spent in myriad ways, but if you would like to include mathematics in that blend, here are few programs I've found to be attractive:
PROMYS is an intensive mathematics program at Boston University for high school students. Number Theory is the main entree of the program; if your background in number theory is strong, consider applying for a undergraduate counselor position.
"The Research in Industrial Projects (RIPS) Program provides an opportunity...to work in teams on a real-world research project proposed by a sponsor from industry or the public sector."
If applied mathematics is your interest, this program appears great. And if Asia is calling your soul, consider RIPS in Hong Kong
Great opportunity to conduct research. The program is not math specific, but there may be few projects in mathematics that may cater to your interest. And spending a summer in Germany is, well, pretty cool.
Summer Undergraduate Applied Mathematics Institute
Carnegie Mellon aims to offer students an intensive graduate school ambiance for undergraduate students uncertain about attending graduate school. A mix of research and coursework in applied mathematics.
Bard College offers Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU). More comprehensive list of REU is available at REU search website [1]
This page will be updated. Also, if anyone knows math camp-like programs for undergraduates, I would appreciate your sharing.
