REU in Mathematics at CSUSB

Opportunity Description:


The principal goal of the REU in mathematics at CSUSB is to provide promising undergraduate math majors with a meaningful, exciting and challenging experience in mathematical research. During the eight-week residential program students will carry out guided independent and collaborative research. Research problems will come from the fields of Geometry and Knot Theory, and will be chosen in consultation with a faculty mentor. The program culminates with participants writing research papers based on their work, and presenting their results at a poster session as well as a formal seminar.

Successful applicants will:

  1. receive a $4800 stipend, paid out in two increments throughout the program.
  2. receive room and board, including a food stipend.
  3. choose between problems in differential geometry and knot theory, and
  4. produce a journal-style paper, poster, and give a presentation on their results.

The dates of the REU are May 30th - July 22, 2022. Should you have any questions, please contact Dr. Corey Dunn or Dr. Rollie Trapp.

Minimum Qualifications and/or Eligibility Requirements: 

This program is funded by the National Science Foundation and the California State University, San Bernardino.
