I've been following this thread over the course of this past week and found the information to be really helpful. Have any of you participated in Penn State's MASS program? I have a week to accept their REU/MASS offer, and I'd appreciate any advice I can get.

has anyone been to these programs and could tell me about their impressions?
i am mainly interested in algebra but i don't know how strong the jmu program is...im leaning to osu if i get accepted

EbolaPox said:I was in the Matrix and Wavelets analysis group at A&M in Summer 2009. It was a lot of fun, but be prepared to do a good amount of work. It can be quite independent also, so you can be free to work on whatever you want. It's a great experience, and if you work hard enough, you can get a paper out of it. I highly recommend getting the book Frames for Undergraduates and start reading that as soon as possible. That will help give you some ideas for projects also.

eNew said:Congratulations on BYU! That's where I am going too!
I got accepted into a bunch a schools with very little time to decide, so I chose based off of research topics. Are you doing the Commutative Algebra program?

MASS certainly appears to have solid coursework. The graduate coursework here is also very solid, though. I have three years left as an undergraduate, so there's something really appealing about maybe finishing the standard graduate sequences next year and then having two remaining years to focus on more specialized topics and maybe study abroad in Moscow (which I was planning on applying for next year, in fact, but have recently decided against it in favor of taking the graduate courses here first).
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.
