Research in the mathematical sciences and is an essential part of the Mathematics program at Harvey Mudd. Every Mudd student completes a year-long investigative senior capstone project \u2014 either a senior research thesis<\/a> or a Clinic<\/a> project. In addition to the senior capstone project, many students do research during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer Research Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have a strong track record of supporting students to work on research during the summer, either on campus or through a network of Research for Undergraduate Experience sites<\/a>. These research experiences help students experience the authentic mathematical problem-solving in a variety of fields, explore how mathematics research might fit into their future career plans, and expand their network of mentors and collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview and General Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the beginning of the spring semester, research projects associated with our department will be posted at Undergraduate Research Opportunities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All mathematics faculty maintain active research programs in a wide range of fields. Here is a brief list of faculty research interests; for more information see individual faculty web pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
