The Mathematics Department has hosted a wide diversity of UROP experiences. During the calendar year 2005, for example, there were 49 different UROP projects in Mathematics.

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.
