About the REU-RET:

The Willamette Valley Consortium for Mathematics Research is an 8 week summer research experience for undergraduate math students and teachers of mathematics located in beautiful Northwest Oregon. The Oregon summers are known for warm dry days with no humidity; a perfect environment for activities such as hiking, biking, and math research!

The four consortium schools each host a research Team of four undergraduates, one teacher, and two faculty mentors. Each research Team will focus on a project from faculty research interests in number theory, graph theory, combinatorial game theory, probability and statistics, geometry, computer science, or applied analysis. All four research Teams will gather on Thursdays for informal and formal talks about their projects, presentations by invited speakers on mathematics and mathematical careers, and social activities.

Dates of the REU-RET: June 16, 2008 - August 8, 2008.

Application deadline: February 22, 2008 (for students).

Application deadline: March 8, 2008 (for teachers).

This REU program is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Willamette University, Lewis and Clark College, Linfield College, and the University of Portland. For a list of NSF-sponsored REU programs: NSF-sponsored math REU programs.
