program Description
Pro Mathematica Arte (PMA), which oversees the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics (BSM) program, will sponsor a 6-week Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in Summer 2026. PMA and BSM aim to offer research experiences to qualified mathematics majors, in service of their organizational missions of promoting the study of the mathematical sciences through educational exchange and cooperation. The 2026 BSM summer research program will run from June 22, 2026 through July 31, 2026, hosted by Haverford College. Haverford College is a leading liberal arts college located 9 miles from the center of Philadelphia. The diverse neighborhoods comprising the greater Philadelphia area are home to many cultural icons and recreational spaces, with direct public transportation access from Haverford’s campus. The 2026 BSM REU at Haverford College is designed to overlap with the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Philadelphia from July 23-30, 2026. The BSM REU will provide undergraduate students with an engaging collaborative research experience on the two topics of area relations associated with dissections of polygons, and knot theory in four-dimensional space. See https://sites.google.com/budapestsemesters.com/bsm-haverford-reu-summer2026 for more details on the research projects and faculty mentors.
