I'm a 2nd year math major looking for a research position for next quarter (and perhaps beyond). Ideally I would be able to find a math professor to work with, but since I have no prior experience and have only taken a few upper div classes I'm not sure that that's realistic. I'm not even sure what types of math research I would be able to do.
I have found a couple positions in biology/health fields that require people with programming experience to develop computational models. Is this the type of thing that could be good experience for someone going into Applied Math? And is it the type of thing that would be considered positively if I were to look for a research mentor or REU spot in a "pure" field?
