Thanks to the NSF VIGRE project of the Math Department, there will be a Summer REU here in our department from June 4 to July 27, 2007. A participant will receive a stipend $2,000, room & board in UI dormitory, along with an amount for travel and supplies if needed. Approximately six UI students will be selected for the summer REU along with twelve students from Heartland Partnership colleges in Iowa and nearby states, and a number of students in the AGEP/Alliance partnership. Likely, the topics will be Linear Algebra, Graph Theory, and Orthogonal Polynomials (each participant will work on one topic). Applicants need to have at least Calculus II. Due to the NSF restriction, only US citizens or permanent residents are eligible to be supported for the Summer REU.
