Yokley, professor of mathematics, and Nicholas Luke, professor of mathematics at North Carolina A&T State University, presented their talk “Experiences in Facilitating Mathematical Modeling Research in the NCA&T/Elon Collaborative Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program" during the conference.
Professor of Mathematics Karen Yokley presented at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Boston, Massachusetts in January 2023. Yokley has co-directed with Nicholas Luke, professor of mathematics at North Carolina A&T State University an NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program for the last three summers.
Yokley and Luke shared details of the program in their talk, “Experiences in Facilitating Mathematical Modeling Research in the NCA&T/Elon Collaborative Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program.” Yokley and Luke shared their approaches to mentoring students and leading an undergraduate research experience.
The North Carolina A&T State University and Elon University joint REU in Mathematical Biology will be held in summer 2023 and more information can be found at http://www.ncat-elon-jointreu.info/. Participants will conduct research in mathematical biology mentored by faculty from Elon and N.C. A&T over the course of eight weeks. Previous programs have involved projects related to toxicology, epidemiology, and neuroscience.
