[HurewiczFan2024]

No one has made a forum for 2023 REUs yet so here it is:

Year: Third year/Junior
Institution: Top 40-60 Flagship State School
GPA: 3.95
Major: Mathematics & Music Performance
Minors: Computer Science
Type of Student: domestic white male
Research: Research in knot theory for two years in high school (no papers but several conference presentations); a reading/research project in Gerrymandering and topological data analysis at home institution; a research project in algebraic geometry at home institution, received funding for Summer 2022 and I am writing a paper; one previous REU (a pretty well-known program) in discrete math and algebra for Summer 2021 that resulted in two papers, one currently being written and one submitted and under review at a journal (sole author).
Coursework: (Undergrad) - Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Discrete Math, Abstract Algebra I & II, Real Analysis I & II, Complex Analysis, Combinatorics and Graph Theory
(Grad) - Abstract Algebra I & II, Topology I & II, Algebraic Topology, Topics: Category Theory and Homotopy Theory
Other: Great relationships with my letter writers, with one coming from my algebraic geometry research mentor and the other coming from a professor I have had for several grad topology classes. Moderate amount of competition experience from middle school up to first year of undergrad and good tutoring experience. Familiar with several programming languages and computer algebra systems. Also a music major in violin and have been playing with several regional and professional orchestras within a 3 hour radius of my university.

did anyone else interview for Texas A&M Commerce this week? i did for complex analysis

[gnayd]

My guess is that most of the REU programs are set in stone now. Curious to hear where is everyone headed for the summer.
