Please read the following information CAREFULLY before filling out this application. Applications received by February 15, 2008 will receive first consideration, but applications will continue to be considered until all positions are filled. Students must be US citizens or permanent residents to participate in the program in any way. Moreover, participants must expect to graduate no earlier than December, 2008. Please ask two mathematics professors to write letters of reference. We are primarily interested in your ability to do mathematics at the highest possible level, and your references should be chosen accordingly. Your references should go to "Reference Letter" for more information on sending the letters electronically. To receive full consideration, letters should be received no later than February 15, 2008. Enter the name and college/university e-mail address for each of your references in the form below. It is the applicant's responsibility to be sure that the reference letters have been sent by the deadline.

Before continuing with this application, be sure that you have reviewed the REU projects so that you can list your first and second choices. You should have available a list of college-level math courses that you have taken and your grades in those courses, as well as the names and e-mail addresses of your two references. All participants are required to have taken freshman/sophomore calculus, differential equations, and matrix or linear algebra. A course involving proofs is preferred. For the algebra projects, a course in modern or abstract algebra is preferred. Transcripts for verification of courses and grades will be required from students selected for the program. You will be asked to write a short statement concerning your interest in this REU program, and you should have this statement ready to cut and paste into the form below.
