Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)

I am one of the organizers of the Summer Undergraduate Research Institute in Experimental Mathematics (SURIEM). This REU in mathematics has been offered each summer since 2010. We are currentlysupported by the National Security Agency, the National Science Foundation, and Michigan State University.

In the summer of 2022, we will support 8 REU students. Information on how to apply appears on the SURIEM web page linked above. Applications are now open. Applications will begin to be reviewed on March 1, 2022.
