Columbia Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling

Columbia Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling is a program for collaborative undergraduate research experiences in mathematical modeling. The purpose of the program is two-fold: to introduce the participants to some of the advanced topics in mathematical and statistical modeling and simulation encountered in modern interdisciplinary research; and to allow the participants to propose and develop collaborative interdisciplinary research projects under the joint mentorship of Columbia graduate students and faculty.

There are four main activities that students will participate in during the program:

  • Lectures in mathematical modeling
  • Interdisciplinary group project
  • Skills and curriculum development
  • Social activities with other students from summer research programs

WORKSHOPS (CUMMW) vs CSUREMM

There are two main sessions for the program to fulfill the program's two-fold purpose: the Workshop (CUMMW) and the Columbia Summer Undergraduate Research Experience in Mathematical Modeling (CSUREMM). The first happens during the academic Fall and Spring semesters and is open to all students, whether inexperienced or advanced. The second is during the summer and for students with more serious research interest in mathematical modeling.

Also at the end of every summer program, there is the Summer Undergraduate Research in Mathematics Virtual Symposium (SURMS). Click here for the present and past symposiums' info.
