UB DRP Vision

Our vision for this program for you as an undergraduate student is to tap into your mathematical potential. By completing a reading project, you will be introduced to material outside of your planned curriculum, thereby improving your skill set for future research and employment opportunities. Likewise, we focus on improving your mathematical literacy so that you can go on to study mathematics independently.

What to Expect

After looking below at the project descriptions, you will be asked to complete a quick application indicating your mathematical background and project preference. Each of you will be placed into a project group with 0-3 other students and a graduate student mentor. You will spend time reading about your particular project topic and working related problems (about 5 hours per week). You will then meet with your mentor individually (about 1 hour per week) to discuss your progress, and with the rest of the group (about 1 hour per week) to collaborate and share ideas.
