In the summer of 2006 the Mathematics Department of the Pennsylvania State University will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site. Participants will be selected from qualified applicants. We encourage students to apply for both, Summer REU and our MASS program which runs in the Fall semester of each year. Participation in REU followed by MASS provides an opportunity for completing a more substantial long-term research project.
Application deadline is March 1, 2006.
The program will run for 6 weeks from June 26 to August 8, 2006. It will combine learning with research and include:
- two two-week mini-courses
- Regular solids and symmetry in three and four dimensions
Instructor: Adrian Ocneanu, Professor of Mathematics - Latin Squares
Instructor: Gary Mullen, Professor of Mathematics
- Regular solids and symmetry in three and four dimensions
- Weekly seminar run by the program coordinator
- Research projects
Each REU 2006 participant will recieve a stipend of $2,500, reimbursement for room and board, and travel reimbursement up to $500.
