The Department of Mathematics at Towson University welcomes applications for nine enthusiastic, hard-working undergraduate students to participate in a summer research experience. The program runs for eight weeks starting on June 6, 2022 and offers subsidized travel to and from Towson, a stipend of $4400, free-on campus housing, and a meal allowance/plan. 

During the first week of the program, faculty mentors will introduce students to the research topics. Students will be divided into three groups, and each group will work closely with two faculty mentors on an open research problem. The research topics for this summer are: 
  • Algebraic Graph Theory (Required background: An introductory abstract algebra course); 
  • Analytic Number Theory (Required background: Single- and multi-variable calculus, as well as an introductory abstract algebra course); and 
  • Partial Differential Equations (Required background: Multivariable calculus and a linear algebra course).
More detailed descriptions of each project can be found at https://tigerweb.towson.edu/llauderdal/. Students are expected to present their research findings at a weekly seminar and will write up their final results for publication. Additionally, the program offers numerous professional development opportunities and social activities. 

All participating students must be United States citizens, United States nationals, or permanent residents of the United States. Women, underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities in research, first generation college students, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Review of applications will begin on March 1 and continue until all positions are filled. A complete application requires a Cover Sheet (https://forms.office.com/r/VzDZNR4Huh) as well as the following items submitted electronically through https://www.mathprograms.org: an unofficial transcript, a list of math courses completed (with the final grade and textbook used in each course), and two recommendation letters.
