Overview
The year-long Computational Science Training for Undergraduates in the Mathematical Sciences (CSUMS) mentoring program begins in summer term with an intense 7-week bootcamp program, where students develop mathematical, statistical, and computational expertise in a focused setting preparatory to doing research during the academic year and following spring term.
The research theme of the CSUMS program is dynamical systems, control, and optimization. We are working toward a multi-faceted approach to attracting and retaining new talent into the mathematical sciences through:
- undergraduate research in (primarily) interdisciplinary fields in the pure and applied sciences,
- a modernized curriculum that cuts through the jargon of particular disciplines and reveals the common mathematical, statistical, and computational structures behind key scientific methods and processes,
- socialization and team-building amongst horizontally and vertically integrated groups of undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty, and
- industrial cooperation that will provide internship and career opportunities for students.
