Department of Mathematics - NC State University

Overview: The Institute for Mathematics at North Carolina State University (IM@STATE) is a dynamic environment where young mathematicians engage in exciting and challenging research projects.

The major goals of the Institute are to increase the number of students going to graduate school as well as to improve the retention of American graduate students in the first two years of graduate study. This is accomplished through providing exciting research opportunities, a welcoming mathematical community, and support/mentoring programs for under-represented students.

IM@STATE students will work on research problems in a supportive, collaborative environment, which is part of a vibrant research department with strong links to industry and government laboratories. They will work with accomplished faculty, gaining the skills and confidence they need to continue.

IM@STATE Programs:

Research for Early Graduate Students (REG) is for students in their first 2 years of graduate school. It gives them a chance to be active members of the research community before completing their course work.

Research and enrichment experience for under-represented undergraduate students (REU+) is designed to provide a supportive REU experience for under-represented students who may not usually consider an REU program. This program also features inclusion of established mentors of under-represented students who also participate in the Institute.

The NC State Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) in mathematics: Modeling and industrial applied mathematics will expose undergraduate students to challenging and exciting real-world problems arising in industrial and government laboratory research.

The Research Scholars Program in Mathematics at North Carolina State University (S-STEM) aims to attract, retain, and graduate academically talented, financially needy students, with a degree in mathematics.

The objective of the Industrial Mathematical & Statistical Modeling (IMSM) Workshop is to expose graduate students in mathematics, engineering, and statistics to challenging and exciting real-world problems arising in industrial and government laboratory research. The students also learn about the team approach to problem solving.

Mathematics at NC State has a proud tradition of graduating a diverse population of American students. We extend a special welcome to women and under-represented undergraduates in these programs as well. The Institute features a collaborative effort between faculty at NCSU, and the Mathematics Department Chairs from 4 Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

The programs in this institute are supported by grants from NSF (MCTP, REU and S-STEM) and NSA (REU).
