Undergraduate Research: I am interested in working with students who would like to explore Mathematics. If you are interested in doing research in Mathematics please get in touch with me. I would also strongly recommend you taking MATH 3901 Mathematics Seminar and attending Mathematics Department Colloquium.

Math Links

Here are some interesting links about mathematics.

Maths goes to the movies: The article is pointing out the role of mathematics in making a successful movie.

What is financial mathematics?: If you think that a financial mathematician is an accountant with pretensions then you should read the article.

Mathematicians To Thank For Great Graphics: 100 powerful supercomputers perform geometrical, algebraic and calculus-based calculations to animate Pixar's characters.

The Next No-Hitter: May?: Researchers use a simple statistical tool known as the Poisson distribution to predict no-hitters and also the number of players hitting for the cycle, in which a player gets a single, double, triple and home run in the same game.

The Secret to Juggling: Presents how computer programs apply mathematics to help jugglers form new patterns.

Traffic jam mystery solved by mathematicians: Mathematicians from the University of Exeter have solved the mystery of traffic jams by developing a model to show how major delays occur on our roads, with no apparent cause.

Opportunities for Undergraduates: Internships, Jobs, Research, and Conferences

• The National Science Foundation Summer Research Programs for Undergraduates lists opportunities in many mathematics and science disciplines. These programs pay for students to study instead of work in the summer, and students who have attended these have loved them!
• The United States Intelligence Community site gives information about how to find work in the intelligence community. U.S. citizens are being actively recruited in several disciplines.
• Association of Women in Mathematics offers a list of summer programs for students - many of them are only for women.
• The Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics maintains a site with links about opportunities for math majors.
• The National Security Agency (NSA) lists summer opportunities there. You must be an American citizen. Since a security clearance is required, applications are due at the end of October.
• The Joint Program in Survey Methodology is a program focusing on statistics. The deadline is in February.
• The following link provides information about [[http://www.beanactuary.org/][becoming an actuary].
• Georgia State University offers a good actuarial graduate school with useful links and actuarial information.
• Research Experience for Undergraduates: The Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M will host an eight-week Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) from June 7 to July 30 (tentative dates) in the summer of 2010.
