Student Research
 

Many of our students engage in research during their time at Wellesley.  They attend summer research programs or work with our own faculty in a multitude of settings.  Some of the summer research programs our students attended in recent years are

• Willams SMALL Undergraduate Research program;
• Carleton College Summer Mathematics Program for Women;
• Texas A&M Research Experience for Undergraduates;
• Boise State Research Experience for Undergraduates;
• Wake Forest/Davidson Research Experience in Number Theory;
• Winthrop University Research Experience in biomathematics;
• National Security Agency Summer Research Program;
• UCLA Research in Industrial Projects for Students;
• Carnegie Mellon Summer School in Logic and Formal Epistemology.

Our students have also done research with our own faculty on a variety of topics including

• Quantum mechanics of nanocars;
• Calculus of functors and combinatorial topology;
• Properties of PSL₂(Z);
• Additive decompositions in ring theory;
• Frobenius algebras and topological quantum field theories;
• Classifications of definable subsets;
• Partition problems;
• Computability Theory;
• Complexity of index sets of groups;
• Khovanov homology;
• Universal cycles for k-subsets of an n-set;
• Enumerations of C_n* and D_n matrices;
• q-binomial coefficients and Fleck's congruence;
• Multilabel classification, its applications, and possible improvements.
• Robust regression analysis
