program Description
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 5, 2023 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:
- Mathematical Biology and Differential Equations (Required background: Single and multi-variable calculus);
- Graph Theory and Model Theory (Required background: At least one proof-based course); and
- Probability and Neural Networks (Required background: Single and multi-variable calculus and a course in probability).
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.
