General Information

SAMSI will host a one week undergraduate workshop intended for college juniors and seniors focused on SAMSI research activities related to the statistical and applied mathematical modeling and analysis of experimental data.  During the first day, a summary of research activities in the 2005-2006 programs on Financial Mathematics, Statistics and Econometrics, National Defense and Homeland Security, and Astrostatistics will be presented. In days two through five, participants will be involved in a hands-on experience. They will use mathematical and statistical models to analyze experimental data they collect in the CRSC/Math Instructional Research Lab (see www.ncsu.edu/crsc/) on the NC State University campus.

Tutorials on modeling, mathematical and statistical methodology and on the physical experiments being used will be given. Participants working together in small teams will collect data and analyze it using mathematical and statistical software provided.

Registration

Applicants should use the on-line application form, and also have one letter of recommendation sent to [email protected]. Full financial support for travel expenses, subsistence and lodging in university housing will be provided for all attendees. Due to space considerations, participation is restricted and will be offered to approximately 30 individuals selected from the applicant pool. Participants are expected to arrive for the workshop on Sunday, May 21, 2006 and remain in continuous attendance until 12:00pm on Friday, May 26, 2006.
