MSRI-UP 2008 Research Projects

MSRI-UP 2008: Experimental Mathematics

Home Research Topic People Colloquia Research Projects

This page lists the preliminary versions of technical reports written by the students who participated in the 2008 Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Undergraduate Program (MSRI-UP). MSRI-UP is a six-week mathematics undergraduate research program at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California.

The seventeen students who participated in the 2008 MSRI-UP came from Universities in California, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York, Puerto Rico, Texas and Washington. They worked in groups of three or four students on research projects in the area of Experimental Mathematics. Their research was directed by Professor Victor H. Moll from Tulane University. Professor Moll was assisted by Luis A. Medina, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Rutgers University, Erin Beyerstedt, a graduate student at Tulane University, and Candice Price, a graduate student at the University of Iowa.

The 2008 MSRI-UP was funded by grants from the National Security Agency (NSA Grant H98230-08-1-0063), the National Science Foundation (NSF Grant 0754872), a donation from the Gauss Research Foundation in Puerto Rico and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI).
