\n\tStudents from universities across the nation participated in UW Bothell\u2019s first Math Summer Research Experience (REU). This rare opportunity for undergraduates was co-directed by associate math professors Jennifer McLoud-Mann, Ph.D. and Casey Mann, Ph.D. The eight week program, funded by the National Science Foundation, was developed to increase participation of underrepresented groups in mathematical research, including first generation students, women, and people of diverse racial backgrounds. A major in math was not a prerequisite and each student received a stipend and on-campus housing costs are paid by the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tThe Math REU focused in three different areas with mentors in each. Mann mentored students in tiling theory, McLoud-Mann mentored in knot theory and Milagros Loreto, Ph.D. in spectral subgradient methods for optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tMorgan Ascanio and Mike Emerick-Cayton are both seniors majoring in Math at UW Bothell. \u201cThis experience has been amazing. I was debating grad school, but this program allowed me to taste what five years as a Ph.D. student is like,\u201d explains Ascanio. \u201cI definitely feel very prepared for this coming season thanks to this program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tNot only did students engage in Ph.D.-level research, they also engaged with graduates from their chosen field of study. \u201cREU had grad school panelists come and tell us what grad school was like and what it takes to get in,\u201d explains Emerick-Cayton. \u201cIt has helped me decide that it is something that I really enjoy doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tThe Math REU also provides professional development opportunities. Some participants will travel to conferences to present their findings. \u201cI like working with undergraduate students on unsolved problems to share that first research experience,\u201d McLoud-Mann explains. \u201cThey see the process, continue on a path to graduate school, to continued research. It\u2019s exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
