Dear Math Honors students,
There is apparently some confusion about the difference between the summer
honors research program and the UT Math REU. These are different programs.
You are guaranteed a place in the summer honors program as long as you
have finished 447-8 by the end of this semester (and aren't graduating
then). The REU program, in contrast, is almost exclusively for students
from other universities. Since you do have the opportunity to do research
through the honors program, only in exceptional circumstances will UT math
honors students be considered for our REU program this year. The honors
summer program runs in alternate years, so the situation will be a little
different in 2011; I'll send more information next year.
