Description:
Program Structure: In each of their two classes, the students will be introduced to fields of mathematics beyond
calculus that students usually do not have the opportunity to study in a standard undergraduate mathematics program.
Past topics for these courses have included knot theory, dynamical systems, algebraic coding theory, and functional
analysis. Through these courses, and the homework assigned in them, the students will have the opportunity to improve
their skills in conjecture and proof, written and oral presentation, and library research. Students will not receive course
credit for, or grades in, these courses. Each student will receive, at the close of the program, written evaluation from her
instructors of her performance and accomplishments. Students selected for this program will receive a $1300 stipend,
campus room and board, and a travel allowance. Carleton and St. Olaf Colleges are premier liberal arts colleges located in
scenic, rural Northfield, Minnesota, one hour south of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
