VERUM provides an opportunity for rising sophomore and junior students to engage in a first research experience in mathematics. The VERUM program is looking for exceptional students who want a research experience that will help them to decide if graduate studies in the mathematical sciences should be part of their future plans. Being committed to graduate study is not a prerequisite for this program, but rather a desired outcome. First generation college students, minority students, and women are particularly encouraged to apply.
The VERUM projects for this year will include the following:
• Mathematical Modeling in Ecology: What Killed the Mammoth?
• Statistics: Estimating the Volatility in the Black-Scholes Formula by Multiple Approaches
• Graph Labelings
More details about the projects and the program, as well as application instructions and the poster/flyer, can be found at www.valpo.edu/mcs/verum.
Application Deadline: Feb 25, 2013
