Research with Undergraduates

During the 2020 REU, I will be researching the Mathematics of Sudoku with students.

Grand Valley has many opportunities for undergraduate students to become involved in research, including the Summer Student Scholars program, the McNair Scholars program, and the math department's own Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program.

Study Abroad for Math Majors

Yes, math majors can study abroad! The Padnos International Center has information about many study abroad programs that Grand Valley has a partnership with, short-term programs that are led by GVSU faculty, and numerous other non-GVSU programs. Future teachers can travel to Tanzania and teach in local schools, also complete their student teaching abroad.
