Contact: Professor Terence Blows is the director of the the NAU-REU program.

Introduction

The REU Program is an opportunity for six top undergraduates from around the country to visit NAU to work one-on-one with an actively researching departmental member. The students are on the NAU campus for 8 weeks and attend both regular lectures by NAU Department of Mathematics and Statistics faculty as well as lectures by external visitors. The culmination of the program is the presentation of student projects. The level of research involved is fairly advanced, occasionally leading to joint publications of papers in refereed journals.

Funding

Funding for this program is by the National Science Foundation. 
Award DMS-0456142

Eligibility

Participants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States, and should expect to graduate in Fall 2008 or Spring 2009. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Dates

The program will run for eight weeks, provisionally scheduled for Monday June 2- Friday July 25, 2008. 

Benefits

Each participant will receive lodging in an on-campus dormitory, a $2,500 stipend, some travel reimbursement, and a small allowance for food. Six semester credits will be earned at Northern Arizona University, which can be transferred to the participant's home institution.

The Program

Faculty involved in the NAU-REU program are active researchers in several areas of mathematics. Participants will work on research projects within one of these areas. Seminars will take place on a regular basis; student participants are expected to attend all seminars and to give one presentation at the end of the summer on their project.
