MSRI-UP 2010: Elliptic Curves and Applications
The MSRI-UP summer program is designed for undergraduate students who
have completed two years of university-level mathematics courses and
would like to conduct research in the mathematical sciences. Due to funding restrictions, only U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply and the program cannot accept foreign students regardless of funding.
The academic portion of the 2010 program will be led by Dr. Edray Goins.

General description
During the summer, each of the 18 student participants will:
- participate in the mathematics research program under the
direction of Dr. Goins
- complete a research project done in collaboration with other
MSRI-UP students
- give a presentation and write a technical report on his/her
research project
- attend a series of colloquium talks given by leading researches
in their fields
- attend workshops aimed at developing skills and techniques needed
for research careers in the mathematical sciences and
- learn techniques that will maximize a student's likelihood of
admissions to graduate programs as well as the likelihood of winning
fellowships
- receive a $3000 stipend, lodging, meals and roundtrip travel to
Berkeley, CA.
After the summer, each student will:
- have an opportunity to attend a national mathematics or science
conference where students will present their research
- be part of a network of mentors that will provide continuous
advice in the long term as the student makes progress in his/her studies
- be contacted regarding future research opportunities
The main objective of the MSRI-UP is to identify talented students,
especially those from underrepresented groups, who are interested in
mathematics and make available to them meaningful research
opportunities, the necessary skills and knowledge to participate in
successful collaborations, and a community of academic peers and mentors
who can advise, encourage and support them through a successful graduate
program.
The objective is designed to contribute significantly toward meeting the
program goal of increasing the number of graduate degrees in the
mathematical sciences, especially doctorates, earned by U.S. citizens
and permanent residents by cultivating heretofore untapped mathematical
talent within the U.S. Black, Hispanic/Latino and Native American
communities.
