Background needed: Flexible; General Topology and/or Survey of Algebra needed for some projects
Availability: Spring and Fall 2020
- Bruno Braga, 229 Kerchof Hall
Research area: Functional Analysis, Banach Space Theory, Descriptive Set Theory
Background needed: Real Analysis
Availability: Fall 2019, Spring 2020
- Juraj Földes, 322 Kerchof Hall
Research area: Probability, differential equations and/or numerical analysis

Availability: Spring 2020, Fall 2020
Outside the Department
There are opportunities to participate in mathematics research at the undergraduate level. In particular, the AMS has compiled a list of summer REUs (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) that are organized at various institutions throughout the US.
