Math/Computer Science - Research & Projects

Our Mathematics and Computer Science students are involved with many different kinds of research and projects. All math majors must complete a research project and computer science majors complete a final group project. We also have students accepted into summer REU (research experiences for undergraduates) programs across the country. Students are also encouraged to do projects for Discovery Day. Below are some recent examples.
