Jeff Rushall has been most responsible for student interest in research, and his Friday Afternoon Mathematics Undergraduate Seminar (FAMUS) provides a forum for recruitment. Many departmental majors have undertaken research projects, and twelve of the department\u2019s current faculty have been involved in project supervision.<\/p>\n<p>Undergraduate research has been supported by NAU I2S and HURA awards and by funding from NASA Space Grants and the Center for Undergraduate Research in Mathematics. Funding to support student travel to national and regional meetings has also come from the Department of Mathematics &amp; Statistics. The research has led to a number of publications by our undergraduates.<\/p>\n<p>A number of faculty may have research projects available.\u00a0 You can find out more by reading some of the UGRADS posters on the walls in the Adel Mathematics Building, by attending FAMUS or SUnMaRC, and by talking to the department chair\u00a0or its Undergraduate Research Coordinator, <a href=\"mailto:jeffrey.rushall@nau.edu\">Jeff Rushall<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--script class=\"ektron-script\"&gt; if ($(\".catalog_script_placeholder\")[0]) { var scriptsLoaded = 0; $.getScript( \"\/\/catalog.nau.edu\/Catalog\/resources\/js\/jquery.catalogFrames.js\").done(function() { $.getScript( \"\/\/catalog.nau.edu\/Catalog\/resources\/js\/easyXDM.min.js\").done(function() { var placeholder = $(\".catalog_script_placeholder\"); var divId = placeholder.attr('divId'); var Program = placeholder.attr('Program'); var catalogFrameDisplayData = {}; catalogFrameDisplayData[placeholder.attr('DisplayType')] = true; var catalogFrameData = {}; catalogFrameData[\"display\"] = catalogFrameDisplayData; catalogFrameData[\"url\"] = \"https:\/\/catalog.nau.edu\"; catalogFrameData[\"plan\"] = Program; $(function setupCatalogWidget() { $(\"#\" + divId).catalogFrames(catalogFrameData); console.log(catalogFrameData); }); }); }); } &lt;\/script--><!-- shortcode-right-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-right-column\" >\n    <div class=\"shortcode-right-column__container\"><!-- shortcode-block -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-block\">\n      <div class=\"block-header\">\n        <h3>Find out more<\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n          <div class=\"block-body\">\n      <div>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/department-mathematics-statistics\/undergraduate-publications\/\">Undergraduate publications<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2018\/08\/Independent-Study-ek.pdf\">Apply for undergraduate research<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/department-mathematics-statistics\/ph-d-students\/\">PhD students<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undergraduate research opportunities NAU math students can participate in research Northern Arizona University promotes\u00a0undergraduate research\u00a0across campus in a variety of ways.
