The Department of Mathematical Sciences has received a $38,000 grant from the University of Delaware's Provosts Office. The grant was awarded under the Graduate Program Improvement and Innovation Project, sponsored by the Provost's Office. This grant will allow the department to finance the formation of five GEMS, or Groups Exploring the Mathematical Sciences, in each of the next two summers. These groups will be led by a faculty member and employ both graduate students and undergraduate students to work for ten weeks on a research project. The program will also include mentorship training for graduate students. Details of eligibility for the program will soon be available on the GEMS web page.
