How to Apply:
Print out an application form (above or request one from the Program Director). A complete application consists of:
- a completed application form, including letter of interest,
- two letters of recommendation from professors who will comment on your mathematical potential, motivation and work habits, and
- a current college transcript; an unofficial transcript will suffice.
For full consideration, please send your application materials and arrange for the letters of application to arrive at Rose-Hulman by Friday February 27, 2009. Electronic applications will be accepted only in exceptional circumstances, such as students studying abroad without good mail access. Letters of recommendation may be electronic.
Female, minority and physically disabled students are encouraged to apply. |

- must be a full-time undergraduate mathematics major as of September 2009,
- must devote their full time to the program and not engage in any other course work or employment during the program,
- should have some background
- in either analysis or differential equations (vector analysis, real analysis, complex analysis, differential equations) for the projects in geometric analysis (2007 and 2008) and inverse problems (2008 and 2009)
- in algebra or number theory (abstract algebra, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, combinatorics, number theory) for the project in computational number theory (2007 and 2009)
- have some experience in using a high level mathematical package or programming language, e.g., Maple, Mathematica, Matlab, C, Pascal or Java.
Participants will be selected according to the above criteria as well as demonstrated mathematical creativity, motivation, and good work habits, as determined from the application materials and recommendation letters.
Notification Policy
All applicants will be notified by email about the completeness of their application a couple of days after the deadline date. Unless previously notified, a final notification that the search is closed will be emailed after all positions have been filled and confirmed in writing (this could take a month).
