Knowing that many of you are interested in research I wanted
to share some information about an opportunity at Arizona State University.
Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Computational Science
training for Undergraduates in Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS) project provides
$10,000 in stipends to students who are interested in research programs in
computational mathematics.
Some of the projects include mathematical models of biological
processes, such as brain tumors, cellular transport and cell networks. Students
work closely with faculty and the “state of the art High Performance Computing
Center and Decision Theater.” Many of the projects produce material suitable
for publishing, if you are considering Barrett at ASU this is a fantastic way of
completing your Honors thesis!
Eligibility requirements include:
· You must be a US citizen or permanent resident
· Computational Mathematical Science major or a
Mathematics major (can be a second major)
· Sophomore or junior standing
· GPA of 3.0
· Recommended course work includes; calculus 3,
differential equations, linear algebra, scientific computing and data
structures.
Student selection is based on academic achievement, letters
of recommendation and a personal statement.
Selected students begin their CSUMS experience in the spring
semester and then participate in a summer project. CSUMS meets once a week for
an hour and a half during the semester (lunch is provided) and daily for eight
weeks during the summer. Approximately eleven students are selected each year.
In addition to the stipend CSUMS students are given the use of office space on
the Tempe campus and a laptop computer.

If any of you are interested in this program I strongly
encourage you to contact Dr. Kostelich Kostelich@asu.edu
(480)965-5006 or Dr. Welfert welfert@asu.edu
(480)965-7195, they are both extremely wonderful mentors.
