American University of Beirut

Summer Research Camp

The Department of Mathematics and The Center for Advanced Mathematical Sciences are organizing the Summer Research Camp in Mathematics. The program offers an exciting research experience to our undergraduate community and help them exploring Mathematics. Students engage in research work with their peers under the guidance of a professor over 6-8 weeks. They are invited to work on problems that do not require substantial background but are nevertheless of interest to the community, with results worth being published. By participating in the camp, students learn to collaborate as a team, extend classroom knowledge to the realm of research, and naturally improve their chances of pursuing successful graduate studies.
