In the summer of 2010 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.

The program will run from June 28 to August 13, 2010. It will combine learning with research and include:
- two mini-courses
- Geometry of Polynomials
Instructor: Sergei Tabachnikov, Professor of Mathematics and MASS Director
July 5 - July 15
- Elements of Fractal Geometry and Dynamics
Instructor: Yakov Pesin, Distinguished Professor of Mathematics
