Math Directed Reading Program
In the Fall 2020 semester, graduate students in the math department are running another Directed Reading Program. A Directed Reading Program, or DRP, pairs undergraduate students interested in math with graduate student mentors to complete a semester-long reading project in an advanced or specialized topic. This semester, all DRP projects will be conducted remotely.
While you won't get UNL credit for doing a directed reading project, you will get....
1) To read deeply into a mathematical topic of your choice, at a pace that suits you
2) Experience preparing and delivering a math talk
3) A great resume/CV booster
4) To be part of a new and exciting math community here at UNL!
More information and the Fall 2020 application can be found at the UNL DRP website: http://www.math.unl.edu/~mbachmann2/drp. You can also email graduate student Austin Eide at austin.eide@huskers.unl.edu with any specific questions
Fall 2020 applications are open now, and we are accepting applicants on a rolling basis. The application is short, and is mostly meant to gauge your interests and mathematical experience. We encourage students with a range of backgrounds and interests to apply: pure, applied, new-to-math, or senior math major --- we'd love to have you in the program! If you have specific ideas about a project or topic, let us know on the application.
