UROP

The Mathematics Department has hosted a wide diversity of UROP experiences. Every year the Department hosts around 40 different UROP projects.

Here are some recent titles:

• "Swimming micro-organisms"
• "Singularities and Hodge cohomology"
• "The hydraulic jump and tears of wine"
• "Edros-type distance problems"
• "Mass formulas for local fields"
• "SIV-POVMs and high-genus codes"
• "The mathematics of path integrals"
• "Acute and non-obtuse triangulations"

More of these projects arose from conversations between the student and the advisor than as a project or idea proposed by the advisor. In almost every case the project represents individual research carried out by the student under the guidance of the advisor.
