Concerning REUs wanting students who are in the earlier parts of their college career, I do remember seeing a math REU last year that explicitly didn't want people with a lot of courses past calculus. Not sure about physics. I've been accepted to RPI and U Toledo's programs so far. I'll...

Using 0^+ would simply make it so that the integrand is defined everywhere in your integration. It still would diverge to infinity if the limit as gamma went to 0 sent the integrand to infinity, though.

There's nothing wrong with how you've used degrees instead of radians in your integral. What matters is that you're consistent and the arguments of each have the right meaning. Since you are varying gamma in degrees, there's no issue with it. LCKurtz comment is the exactly same when replacing pi...

A standard course load is 4 in general. A standard course load for overachievers is 5. Since Math and Chem don't really have a lot of overlap, 4 classes a semester will not be enough if you want to get a double major. Have you worked out your four year schedule at all so figure out what classes...

The things that denote honors courses vary from class to class and from school to school. Here, our honors calculus sequence is a much more proof-based, real math styled sequence. I skipped out of all the lower level math courses, but like pretty much all blanket statements, it doesn't apply to...

I'd say try to talk to some of the professors you know about possibly getting something to do over the summer or if they know anyone that you would be able to do research under, at your University or elsewhere. That's what I'm planning to do should I have the same situation, though I've only...

My point being that there is no reason to post here anymore, as the purpose of the topic does not merit any more posts since it is no longer relevant to the original poster. That and to inform the person who revived it, clearly someone who is new, that they posted in a thread that is four years...

This thread is over four years old.

hadsed, did Rochester send you an actual rejection e-mail? I applied but I haven't heard anything back yet :S

Most schools only allow a certain amount of overlapping between things in working towards majors/minors. That is, only a few of the courses can satisfy more than one of the two things. You will probably want to check that out first, because if the number that can overlap isn't large enough...

Indiana sent out all of its rejections just now.

Could more people list where they've been accepted to so others can get a better idea of which places have responded so far?

On the quarter system I could see that many being fit in and it not being too different from the norm, but not a semester system. Also, I don't know how you can consider a course called Mathematical software a proof-based course, and the same thing possibly for numerical methods. Same thing goes...

Anyone know when LSU is going to be sending out notifications? It said late May when I submitted, but that doesn't seem quite right...

Check out some of the sites for various math REUs that are being held this summer. Most of them tend to have descriptions of what type of projects will be done and what necessary courses there are for it. There are a few that don't have prerequisites past linear algebra (though there are ones...
