Since 2005, undergraduates from UCLA and other local colleges have joined faculty and graduate students to conduct a broad variety of theoretical, numerical and experimental research projects in Applied Mathematics.
The REU is an 8 week summer program in the Applied Mathematics group at UCLA. Students will have the opportunity to join an active research group with projects in machine learning, social justice, data science for sociology, and other areas. The successful applicant will work with faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and other undergraduates. Throughout the summer, the REU program will be augmented by faculty-run informational sessions on research, careers in mathematics, and preparing for graduate school. Program dates will be more variable this year depending on the project. The core program will start June 13 and finish August 5. In the final week of the program, students are expected to present the results of their research in both a written report and an oral presentation. For some projects the students may be asked to write software. The faculty mentor will identify the "deliverables" at the beginning of the summer and will work closely with the students in preparing the final result. This will be an online program and participants are expected to be in a location where they can participate during business hours (9a-5p) in Los Angeles. Summer 2022 projects are being developed. More details are listed here. Students writing a research statement preference should write about their general research interests and are welcome to look at topics from past programs. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT TAKING PLACE AT IPAM DESPITE THE ACRONYM ON MATH PROGRAMS. Eligibility
