Description

A Mathematician's Practical Guide to Mentoring Undergraduate Research is a complete how-to manual on starting an undergraduate research program.

Readers will find advice on setting appropriate problems, directing student progress, managing group dynamics, obtaining external funding, publishing student results, and a myriad of other relevant issues.

The authors have decades of experience and have accumulated knowledge that other mathematicians will find extremely useful.

This book is a wonderful resource for those interested in engaging undergraduates in research.

The authors' extensive experience in mentoring undergraduates in research is evident throughout. -Joseph A. Gallian, Director of the University of Minnesota Duluth REU, Former President of MAA, Former Director of MAA Project NExT You do not need to be a mathematician to appreciate "A Mathematician's Practical Guide to Mentoring Undergraduate Research".

The book is filled with useful information, advice, and ideas for faculty engaging in undergraduate research based on the most successful ideas from the undergraduate research community. - Julio Rivera, Emeritus President of the Council on Undergraduate Research A remarkably entertaining compendium of useful information for anyone interested in mentoring undergraduates in mathematical research.

With wisdom gathered over their collective decades of experience, the authors provide a complete starter kit for successful undergraduate research groups in the mathematical sciences. -Kathryn Leonard, Director of the Center for Undergraduate Research in Mathematics at Occidental College
