Supervisor:  Dr. Cracked Pot

Timeline:  Students will work 5 hrs/week during one semester of 2037-2038 academic year.  This is a paid position generously supported by UROP.

Students:  A team of 4 students each semester.

Description:

Squiggly squiggles are not the topic of any actual project.  This is just a mockup.  But if they were, they would be central to all of mathematics and have applications to quantum computing, cryptography, particle physics and daytime television.

Application:  Due August 10th for Fall 2037.  We are seeking applicants with both technical skills and mathematical/statistical skills.  Math 2001 is a pre-requisite.  An application consists of:

• a personal statement about how your skills and interests fit the project, including any ideas you may have about squiggly squiggles
• a brief easily readable CV showing:
  • math/stats classes taken (with grades)
  • programming and computer skills/experience (include links if applicable)
  • design/art/making skills/experience (include links if applicable)
  • teamwork/leadership/outreach experience
• a statement of your scheduling availability during Fall 2037 (basic weekly schedule if known; credit hour load and other job hour load)
