Greetings to all of our math majors.
It is not too early to begin thinking about summer research opportunities. A list of available sites can be found at

These programs are typically 4 to 6 weeks of intensive mathematics study. Most are aimed at mathematics students who are completing their junior year. Applications are competitive, and financial support is usually part of the acceptance package. These research programs provide outstanding educational opportunities. Participation also looks very good on job and graduate school applications.
I participated in one of these programs at Clemson University between my own junior and senior years and found the program to be quite rewarding. I met a much younger Alan Adolphson at the Clemson program. I would be happy to speak with any of you regarding these opportunities.
