HMC Mathematics Department Summer Research (Summer 2014) The mathematics department at HMC is offering a variety of summer research opportunities. Please check out the project descriptions and print out the application at http://www.math.hmc.edu/summerresearch
A list of Math REU's and links to their website can be found at: http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/list_result.cfm?unitid=5044 Deadlines vary - consult the individual websites ---------------------------------------------------- NSA Director's Summer Program The National Security Agency's (NSA) Director's Summer Program (DSP) is a highly competitive program that seeks to reach the Nation's most outstanding undergraduate mathematics majors. Each summer they invite exceptional students to put their problem-solving skills to the test in mathematics, cryptology, and communications technology. Among other talents, they target students who have scored highly on the Putnam Exam. Past students who have attended this program speak very highly of it. If you are interested, check out the webpage at: http://www.nsa.gov/careers/opportunities_4_u/students/undergraduate/dsp.shtml ---------------------------------------------------- NSF-REU Projects in Computational Biology The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology recently received funding to continue its long standing NSF-REU in mathematics. One of the area domains this summer is computational biology, and students with interests in mathematics, computer science and biology are encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates will be pursing a degree in one of these and will have an appreciation for the others. Possible projects include, but are not restricted to: *) the study of metabolic networks through flux balance analysis *) protein structure alignment *) haplotyping *) sequence alignment The field of computational biology is rich with applications in mathematical programming, and there are important and challenging problems that lend themselves to mathematical analysis, computational exploration, and biological interpretation. This summer's undergraduate research experience will be tailored to the unique mix of the student cohort.
