Congratulations to the 12 students who presented their research today to conclude the SMCM Mathematics REU, a 7-week NSF-funded research experience for underrepresented students in mathematics who are early in their college careers. Over 100 students from all over the country applied for the 12 positions. Two of the participants, Mariel Santos '20 and Beth Thomas '21, are SMCM students.
Santos' team presented "Knots & Links: Local Moves & Polynomial Invariants." Thomas' team presented "Combating Tuberculosis: Using Time-Dependent Sensitivity Analysis to Develop Strategies for Treatment and Prevention."
