Anyone done this REU last year / knows anything about it?
A Geometry & Topology REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) Program is a summer research program for undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in mathematics. These programs focus specifically on the fields of geometry and topology, which involve the study of shapes, spaces, and their properties.
Each program will have its own application process, but generally, you will need to submit an application form, transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement. Some programs may also require a writing sample or a statement of research interests. It is important to carefully review the application requirements for each program you are interested in applying to.
Most REU programs are designed for undergraduate students who are currently enrolled in a degree program and have completed at least one year of coursework in mathematics. Some programs may also have specific GPA requirements. In addition, many programs are open to international students, but it is best to check with the individual program for their specific eligibility criteria.
Participating in a REU program can provide valuable research experience and exposure to advanced topics in mathematics. It can also help you develop important skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication. Additionally, REU programs often provide opportunities for networking and building relationships with other students and faculty in the field.
Most REU programs provide funding for participants, which typically covers housing, meals, and a stipend for the duration of the program. Some programs may also cover travel expenses. It is important to check with the individual program for specific details on funding and any potential costs that may need to be covered by the participant.
