REU - Research Experience for Undergraduates Application Deadline - March 18th, 2012, 4:00 pm This program is designed to provide outstanding undergraduates with the opportunity to pursue research under the tutelage of experienced faculty members. Typically students work with a faculty member on a project of mutual interest for 6-8 weeks during the summer. The projects range anywhere from math modeling in the sciences and engineering, running computer simulations or computer experiments to solving abstract and conceptual problems, depending on the background and the interests of student and faculty member. Each student will be required to write a report about the project, which is due at the project's completion. Samples of such reports can be viewed here. Applications are welcome from students from all schools. REU participants are paid a stipend of approximately $4,300 during the summer.   If you are interested in participating and would like to learn more, please contact the Undergraduate Office by phone (734) 647-4461 or by email at math-undergrad-office@umich.edu. Additional applicant information is available here. NSF-funded participants must be U.S. citizens or permanent  residents.  We may have a limited amount of funding for  non-resident non-citizens.
