This workshop is perfect for undergraduate students who plan to further their education in graduate school, as well as graduate students who are interested in pursuing careers in academia in mathematics.

The main purpose of this workshop is to help students answer the following important question:

What should I do in mathematics? 

The intention is to provide the participants with the necessary knowledge to make well-informed decisions regarding their choices related to research topics, potential graduate programs and thesis advisors. This will be achieved by exposing them to a wide range of research topics in pure and applied mathematics.

The workshop will offer no-cost lectures of the highest quality from diverse areas of mathematics mainly in an online format, which is a very convenient stress-free form of attendance.
