Each participant will receive a $500 stipend upon completion of the program.
The RHIME program aims to 1) increase enrollment at STAC of mathematics majors and minors in underrepresented groups, 2) increase experiential learning opportunities in the use of mathematics and technology for students in these groups, and 3) increase awareness of the broad applicability and importance of mathematical knowledge in the world at large.
For these reasons, underrepresented backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply!
Requirements: Participants are required to have an hour-long weekly meeting with the group to discuss progress towards the goal of the project. Approximately four hours of independent work by the student is expected between meetings. By the end of the semester, each group will produce a summary report of their analysis and findings, with the goal of informing their peers about their findings as well as the social context of their project.
Qualifications: Any freshman, sophomore, or junior is eligible to apply if they have completed a mathematics course at STAC with a grade of B or higher, or if they have sufficient mathematics background from high school coursework. Others with unusual background will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
