The Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in Computational
Mathematics was conducted June 5 - July 29, 2005. It was supported by the National
Science Foundation. The major goal of
the program were to provide a research experience for the
undergraduates in order to help them make an informed decision
regarding graduate school in mathematics and its applications to
physical sciences. Sixteen undergraduates participated in the
program, mentored by six post doctoral fellows and four faculty.
The program consisted of introductory short courses during the first
week, weekly seminars by distinguished faculty in a variety of
application areas, and a poster session/banquet during the final
week. Students and their mentors were given freedom to conduct the
research with very little interruption by required progress reports.
