2021 NSA RESEARCH PROGRAM IN COMBINATORICS AND COMBINATORIAL NUMBER THEORY

The objective of the six week program is to provide an opportunity for six
undergraduate students to learn firsthand the nature of mathematical
research. The participants will conduct research under the guidance of
experienced researchers who are past program alumni on problems in combinatorics,
combinatorial number theory, and graph theory.

Dates: May 30 - July 9, 2021
Stipend: Because of limited funding stipends are not available.
Some departments will fund their students. Please inquire about this.
Allowances: Travel up to $750 and free on-campus apartment housing
Location: University of Minnesota Duluth
Deadline: February 19, 2021

Applicants will be selected on the basis of motivation, scholarly aptitude, and a projection
of the likely benefits to the participant and the program. To qualify for travel expenses and
free housing an applicant must be U.S. citizen (or national) or have permanent resident status.
International students with full funding are eligible. On-campus is approximately $1000 for six weeks.

The exact starting and ending dates as well as the length of stay are negotiable. There will be
organized social and recreational activities such as biking, rafting and hiking.

If the University of Minnesota Duluth has COVID-19 restrictions in force during the program dates
the program will be offered via Zoom.
