About the program

The program is designed to immerse undergraduate students in advanced mathematical topics not typically covered in the undergraduate curriculum through an inquiry-based format that encourages active exploration and collaboration.

The program centers on two broad mathematical themes—analysis and enumerative combinatorics—designed to inspire curiosity, mathematical creativity, and collaborative problem solving.
