The UC Davis VIGRE project offers a range of activities designed to
integrate research mathematics into every facet of our
educational programs at all levels: undergraduate,
graduate,
postdoctoral and outreach to the public.
Our goals are:
- To increase the quality of our graduate education.
- To recruit larger number of students into mathematics, in particular
from underrepresented minorities.
- To mentor our postdoc building a strong preparation for their
future careers.
The frame of the project are our
Research Focus Groups, where a
group of faculty, postdocs, grads and undergrads work closely together in
a hot topic in advanced mathematics. The Research Focus Group activities
will include a research seminar, a reading seminar, research projects, and
outreach events. The areas of research of the Groups
may vary from year to year, depending on the interests and expertise of
the faculty and graduate students.
Undergraduates and graduate students are invited to participate in the
many educational opportunities and to apply for financial support in the
form of fellowships and minigrants. To apply or to learn more choose from the
corresponding links in the menu at the left.
