The Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Minnesota Duluth

2024 RESEARCH PROGRAM IN COMBINATORICS AND COMBINATORIAL NUMBER THEORY
Supported by Jane Street Capital, the U. S. National Science Foundation, Ray Sidney, and Eric Wepsic

The objective of the eight-week program is to provide an opportunity for nine
undergraduate students to learn firsthand the nature of research in mathematics.
The participants will conduct research on problems in combinatorics, combinatorial
number theory, and graph theory under the guidance of the two program directors from UMD
and Harvard and two PhD candidates in combinatorics from Princeton and Stanford, who are
program alumni.

Dates: June 9 - August 1, 2024
Stipend: Stipend: $5000
Allowances: Travel up to $800 and free on-campus apartment housing.
Location: University of Minnesota Duluth
Deadline: February 15, 2024

Applicants will be selected on the basis of motivation, mathematical accomplishments, and projected
likely benefits to the participant and the program. International students who attend US schools are eligible.

The exact starting and ending dates as well as the length of stay are negotiable. There will be
organized social and recreational activities such as biking, rafting, and hiking. Sixteen to twenty
program alumni will be short-term visitors.

Applications must be submitted via http://www.mathprograms.org/

A complete application consists of the standard cover sheet (ignore current title/dates,
"highest degree/institution/dates"), two letters of recommendation;
and date of birth);
a transcript (it need not be official) OR a list of all advanced math
courses with grades; a statement explaining your interest in combinatorics, number theory, and graph
theory, your long-term career plans, any experiences that especially qualify you for participation, your
current institution, and your expected date of graduation. If applicable, include information about your
performance in math competitions such as the USAMO and the Putnam. DO NOT INCLUDE COPIES OF PAPERS YOU
HAVE WRITTEN. Detailed information about past Duluth REUs is available at
