ABOUT: An important goal of this seven-week summer program is to encourage Howard University students to compete and succeed in the mathematical sciences. The program seeks undergraduate mathematics majors or minors who have completed at least Calculus II with distinction. During the first three weeks the morning sessions will include lectures on proof writing and the basics of data science. The most important portion of the program is the research seminars, where students will study current research problems. The research seminar will meet every weekday afternoon for three hours except Fridays during the first three weeks and intensively during the last four weeks, when the lectures on proof and problem solving are over. This year’s topics are enumerative combinatorics (Riordan arrays) and data science.
ELIGIBILITY: Candidates must currently be majoring or minoring in mathematics at Howard University. Students should have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA and 3.2 GPA in mathematics courses. Also, students must be US citizens, permanent residents, or nationals. We are particularly interested in students who have completed Calculus II and are first- or second-year students.
TERMS: Students will receive a $3,500 stipend and $2,000 for room and board. Students are required to enroll in Math 175 in the Fall of 2023 to continue their research. Students will be required to author a research article and present a presentation on their results.
Funding for this program is made possible by the Mathematical Association of America.
