Dear Honors students,
This Summer is the third Summer we offer the honors math research program.
The program is financially supported by the National Science Foundation,
NSF grant 0502287- EMSW21-MCTP. Very few Mathematics Departments in this
country have an NSF grant for the Honors Undergraduate Program. To the
best of our knowledge our research honors program exceeds expectations in
terms of magnitude of the results.
During the previous academic years all our teams of undergraduate honors
students accomplished their research projects and obtained very
interesting new results.
Here is more about national and international recognision of our honors
program:
Our honors students have presented their results at several Mathematical
Conferences, including the AMS Conference in San Diego, January 2008 and
the Conference at University of Nebraska, Lincoln, February 2008,
University of Tennessee April 2007 and April 2008.
They also presented their results at a regular session of the
7th International AIMS Conference on Dynamical Systems,
Differential Equations and Applications, May, 2008, Texas, Arlington. We
are proud to announce that the participants of the session considered
their results as highly interesting and on the level of very good
graduate students and their presentation very professional.
Another team gave a talk on their research at a regular
session of the IMACS International Conference, March 23-26,2009, Athens,
Georgia. The talk was a great success.
Another team will present a talk at a regular session of
the 8th AIMS International Conference on Dynamical Systems, Differential
Equations and Applications, Dresden , Germany, May 25 - 28, 2010.
One team has submitted their paper to a regular Mathematical Journal. The
paper has been accepted for publication with two very enthusiastic referee
reports (which by itself is highly unusual).
Another teams will also submit shortly their paper to a regular
Mathematical Journal.
More about national recognision of the Program:
Our Undergraduate Honors Program showed great success last year. Five out
of six honors students (past active participants in the Honors Research
program) have accepted teaching
assistantships in mathematics departments at high level universities.
What is the difference between our Honors program and a regular REU
program around the country?
How are we able to achieve all these great results?
Whoever wants to find out the answers to these questions please, take an
appointment with me and we will discuss them and also all other
possible questions which you may have on the subject.
The honors program comes with a $3000 stipend and represents a great
chance to start real research. All math honors students who
have taken the necessary prerequisite courses are invited to
participate.
The Honors Summer Research class will meet during the Second Summer session
July 7th- August 9th.
The prerequisites are
Honors Analysis 447-448.
Best
