Application Links for Summer 2025

If you are an undergraduate student interested in being a mentee, the application can be found here.

When you are filling out the application form, you will be asked to attach a brief (one page, max) exposition of a mathematical result you find interesting. It could, for example, be a mathematical topic that you are excited to learn, or even a homework problem that you really liked. Here is an example from ordinary differential equations.

Application Criteria

To participate in the program, you must have completed a math course involving proofs (e.g. Math 185 or Math 217). In addition, you must commit to:

• Meeting once a week with your mentor for about an hour.

• Working on your project for (at least) four hours per week outside of the meetings.

• Preparing a 10-15 minute presentation about your project or a 5-page expository article on your topic.

• Attending the final DRP presentations.

Note that the DRP is not an undergraduate research program, and you should not expect to work on a research project. It is also not a course, so you do not receive any course credit.

Mentor Registration

If you are a graduate student interested in mentoring an undergraduate student, you can register here.
