Did you ever wonder what it means to do research in
mathematics? How do you start? Where do you get a problem?
What do you do when you get stuck? What, exactly, are
you doing when you're not stuck? Most people have to
wait until graduate school to find answers to these
questions. Increasing numbers of undergraduates, however,
are getting a sneak peek at research mathematics by
attending one of the many Research Experiences for Undergraduates
(REUs) offered around the country. (There are approximately
twenty mathematics REUs each summer.
