SUMMER@ICERM
Undergraduate Summer Research Program
at Brown University
June 17 – August 9, 2013
The 2013 Summer@ICERM program is designed for a select group of 10-12 undergraduate scholars. Students will work in small groups of two or three, supervised by faculty advisors and aided by teaching assistants. The faculty advisors will provide a list of interesting open problems in geometry and in dynamical systems. These problems include Euclidean, hyperbolic and projective geometry, iteration of geometric constructions, and mathematical billiards. Students will form research groups to work on the problems, will give talks about their findings, and will write up their research into a paper at the end of the program.
The Application Process
Applications for the 2013 Summer@ICERM are being accepted through MathPrograms.org.
Applicants must not yet have graduated with an undergraduate degree at the time of the program start.
Funding is available for a limited number of students who are not US citizens or permanent residents.
All application materials must be received by February 6, 2013.
*Accepted Brown University students will receive a Brown UTRA stipend in lieu of the Summer@ICERM funding package.
100% of the Summer@ICERM 2012 student survey respondents indicated they would recommend the Summer@ICERM program to their friends.
“Perfectly organized research program, projects were very accessible and we had the chance to have real progress on our research. Professors were very helpful and the meetings were very useful. ICERM looks wonderful and it is a great place to do research.”
