Categories: Career

Attend summer school with no classes! Instead: **

  • Get hands-on experience with mathematical modeling
  • Interact with students, faculty and industry sponsors doing research in teams on real-world problems of critical interest to industry
  • Meet students from around the world while working in beautiful Vancouver, B.C.
  • $2000 CDN scholarships available towards attending graduate school in B.C. ** The MITACS Industrial Math Summer School is a new initiative aimed at providing undergraduate students with an opportunity to do mathematical research in groups on real-world problems. We will combine students from different academic backgrounds in teams of four or five to work on problems submitted by local companies, research labs and non-profit organizations. Each team will work for one month on one problem.
