It contains a listing of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REUs) aimed at mathematics students that will plan to run in the summer of 2025.
Interested in doing research closer to Chicago? Then you might consider applying to the CSH Undergraduate Summer Research Program (URSP). Not sure where to start? Reach out to the math department’s undergraduate research coordinator, Dr. Emily Barnard, at e.barnard@depaul.edu!
Applications for the EDGE Summer Program are now open! Apply today.
The EDGE Summer Program is a four-week, residential session designed to prepare a cohort of gender nonconforming individuals to thrive in their PhD programs in the mathematical sciences. The 2025 EDGE Summer Program will be held June 1 – June 28, 2025 at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Program activities include:
The EDGE Foundation will cover all travel, room, and board expenses related to the Summer Program. Program participants will also receive a modest stipend.
Applicants to the program should be women or gender nonconforming individuals who: 1) are applying to PhD programs in the mathematical sciences or 2) just completed their first year in a PhD program in the mathematical sciences. Students from underrepresented minority groups are especially encouraged to apply.
Applications for the 2025 EDGE Summer Program are now available at https://www.mathprograms.org/db/programs/1338. Applications are due February 14, 2025. For more information, visit https://www.edgeforwomen.org/summer-session/. Please send any questions to edgestaff@edgeforwomen.org.
Several students from the DePaul mathematics community spent their summers engaging in full-time mathematical research. Some students conducted research with DePaul faculty as part of the Undergraduate Summer Research Program, while others conducted research at external institutions. Regardless of location, students learned to ask and answer their own questions, and even proved things that had never been proven before! So cool!
At the end of the summer, the following students came together and presented their work at the 2024 Mathematical Sciences Summer Research Showcase:
Abstracts for the student talks can be found here: 2024 Summer Research Showcase Abstracts
Interested in learning more about these students’ experiences? Keep an eye out for upcoming DePaul Math Club talks!
Are you interested in conducting mathematical research? (Great!) You can start by talking to the faculty members you know or by reaching out to the MAT department’s undergraduate research coordinator, Dr. Emily Barnard (e.barnard@depaul.edu).
The Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics (NCUWM) will be accepting applications for participants between October 1 and October 18. This conference is open to all undergraduates and provides most of the local funding as well as some travel support. Students may present research talks or posters, or they can attend without presenting. The conference is helpful for all students, whether they know they want to go to graduate school in math or whether they like math and are unsure what to do with it. Please consider applying!
The conference will take place January 31 – February 2, 2025. More information can be found here: NCUWM
The DePaul Math Club meets Fridays at 12:00 in Arts and Letters 408. It’s a great time filled with pizza, beverages, great people, a relaxed environment, and some fascinating mathematics—math that’s both niche and underdiscussed and the hottest topics leading the math world today. We are usually joined by student researchers, graduate students, or professors—some from DePaul and some from other institutions—to share the math they work with. No math background required. We hope that you will join us for one of our upcoming meetings.

On Friday, April 26, a group of DePaul students ventured to Indiana for the Annual Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Math Conference. The conference featured research conducted by undergraduate students, including DePaul’s own Owen Levens. In addition to attending (and giving!) research talks, students were able to network with other attendees and explore Rose-Hulman’s campus. Many good times were had and lots of interesting mathematics was learned! You can learn more about their adventures by visiting the DePaul Math Club Instagram.
Expenses for transportation, housing, and food were generously covered by the DePaul Department of Mathematical Sciences.
Why are Integrals so awesome? They’re like puzzle pieces that unlock a world of possibilities! From finding areas and volumes to pinpointing central locations, they’re the superheroes of math, science, and beyond!
But wait, there’s more! Picture this: a showdown of epic proportions, where students go head-to-head, solving integrals in a race against time. Well that’s our Integration Bee—an electrifying math tournament where every answer unlocks the door to victory! Plus, it’s not just about the competition. There’ll be plenty of chances to mingle, munch on tasty treats, and dive into fun activities.
If that wasn’t exciting enough, the CSH Integration Bee is awarding $500 to the first place winner, $200 to second place, and $100 to third. The CSH Integration Bee will take place 12:00pm-3:00pm on Friday, April 19 in McGowan South 107. Sign up here by April 12th! If you don’t want to compete, no worries–come watch your peers beat each other to bloody pulps with calculus for money! Flyer and info sheet attached!
The week before Winter Quarter finals, six DePaul math students road tripped to Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois for the annual meeting of the Illinois Section of the Mathematical Association of America. It was an absolute blast to carpool across Illinois, attend talks, participate in activities, and hang out at our Airbnbs. We’re looking forward to the next one, and can’t wait to see you there!
Speaking of the next conference, the DePaul Math Club will be venturing four hours by car into Indiana for the Annual Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Math Conference. We’re carpooling on the evening of Friday 4/26, staying the night in Indiana, and heading back the next day once the conference is concluded. It’s going to be a blast, and I would love to see you there. Expenses are being generously covered by the DePaul Math Department—so long as receipts are kept and expenses are reasonable and under transportation, housing, or food. Sign up here, and read more here. Registration is free until April 13 then it costs $10, so don’t delay!
