I wasn't expecting to get one this early. I have a couple of theories, but the biggest one is that REUs aren't obligated to wait until a certain date before reviewing applications.

I was among those who were accepted into RIT imaging, so i can't really answer your question.

I would agree with those who said Python. It's not difficult to learn compared to C++, and it is very popular so you can get help easily via online searches.

Here are some of the ones I've heard of. All are last years. The program directors told me directly for the first two. 1. RIT Imaging REU had 240 applicants for 6 spots (I think these 6 were the first round of offers, though, there might have been more) 2. UMass Amherst Computer Science had...

Got an offer from UNC Greensboro a few days ago for algorithmic combinatorics on words. I will likely accept, so let me know if you're going. I applied to 12 places, but it looks like I'll be withdrawing my application for 11 of them soon.

Limit as n-> infinity with integral -- Please check Homework Statement Compute \lim_{n \to \infty} \int_{0}^{1} \frac{e^{x^4}}{n} dx. Homework Equations We can put the limit inside the integral as long as a function is continuous on a bounded interval, such as [0,1]. The Attempt at a...

Who else is going to Bard? I am going there.

Homework Statement Give an example of a non-continuous function on [0,1] that has no maximum and no minimum. Homework Equations Well, a continuous function on a non-empty compact set will have a maximum and a minimum, so I guess this is why we need a non-continuous function. The Attempt at...

I got into Bard, and might attend. I'm still waiting on a last shot (pun not intended :wink:) from another REU.

I'm applying to 15, but I've already submitted one, and my recommender has already sent her letter so everything is done. The secret is time management. The staggered applications does annoy me somewhat, because it would be great if everything could be done on the same date. I've seen REUs that...

dharris11, which REU is this? Also is that username short for Devin Harris? :) Anyway I've submitted an application and have 14 to go, but I'm making progress with my essays. Ursinus just re-updated their website so I might apply to that if I don't get in one of my earlier choices.

You're doing this for a hobby? I'm a math major and I'm under the impression that being a mathematician is more like an occupation.

I'm not applying to any on that list, which can be either a good thing or a bad thing. :) I was hoping to apply to Caltech's SURF program, but of the projects that I'm interested in, I don't meet the requirements or they "recommend" having skills/classes that I haven't had (in retrospect, I...

I've looked at some national labs, but I think I'd fit in better in an REU. Oh yeah, I don't mind physics REUs. And I'll look at these other math and computer science programs.
