(application deadline is April 1, 2022)

poster

when:

• May 30 (Monday) - June 24 (Friday), 2022
• 9:30am - 3:00pm Mountain Time on weekdays.

where:

• The University of Utah campus, exact room TBA

who:

• The program will accept ten University of Utah students who are enrolled in or considering a math major. Students from histroically marginalized groups in mathematics are particularly encouraged to apply!
• The program content is targeted at students finishing their first or second year at the U who have completed at least Calculus II (or equivalent) and have not yet completed a foundations of analysis course.
• The mathematics in the program will incorporate fundamental notions in analysis and linear algebra by introducing them through natural examples in dynamical systems.
• No programming experience is required.

what:

• You will explore first examples of dynamical systems on an interval, which naturally introduce other notions such as Cantor sets, linear algebra and Diophantine approximations.
• You will work closely with other students and program staff while solving interesting problems.
• You will develop skills, knowledge, and confidence for future success in mathematics in an inclusive, supportive, and enthusiastic environment.

stipend:

• Participants will be PAID a $2,000 stipend for their participation.
