Applied Mathematics Insititute at Carnegie Mellon May 31 - July 18, 2000
Deadline March 1, 2000

Summary
- Undergraduate students often are unclear on exactly what graduate study and research will require of them and what it can offer them; unfortunately, many talented students decide against graduate studies in part because of this uncertainty. Our program is designed to help students make a rational decision by giving them a taste of the graduate experience, without excessive cost of time in their careers. The course-work, while at a level appropriate to Juniors and Sophomores, is taught at graduate-level intensity, and the projects offer the chance to discover the pleasures, and frustrations, of attacking open-ended research problems. The students are given the opportunity to interact with current graduate students.
- We also aim to introduce students to areas of reasearch in applied mathematics with which they may not be familiar, both through the project work and through a series of seminars by research faculty and graduate students.
- Finally, the students in the Institute will leave CMU with tangibles: tools from the analysis and Maple courses which will prove of service in their continuing undergraduate and their graduate studies, and intangibles: the pleasure of working with and hanging out with students with similar interests from very different geographic and cultural backgrounds.
