REU Information and Links

  • SUNY Potsdam/Clarkson 2009 REU web page, with application forms.

    My 2009 group will work on problems in topological graph theory, combining knot theory and graph theory. A good place to learn some background is "The Knot Book," by Colin Adams. Check out chapter 8 in particular, dealing with intrinsically linked and intrinsically knotted graphs. We might also discuss issues related to planarity of graphs (see Kuratowski's Theorem in most graph theory books.) You might also want to check out:

  • Joel Foisy's Papers and Preprints. Many of the papers listed represent joint work with REU students.

    For some web sites that are of interest to potential REU participants:

  • Some (now old) reviews of other REU's by Harvard Math Club members.
  • A list of REU sites.
  • Furman Electronic Journal of Undergraduate Mathematics.
  • Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Math Journal.
  • Involve Math Journal.
