Bar-Ilan Mathematics projects: exploring science, creating science
Projects for graduate and advanced undergraduate students
On Sunday, 27 July 2008, a special meeting was held in the Department of Mathematics,
Bar-Ilan University. In this meeting, opportunities were offered to graduate
and advanced undergraduate (3rd year B.Sc. or higher) to experience cutting-edge
research with some of the leading researchers of the department.
Below are links to some presentations which describe the proposed projects.
Additional proposals are planned to be added in the future.
In case of interest, please contact the project proposer.
Stundets from other universities who consider moving to BIU for their M.Sc. or
Ph.D. degrees are especially welcome to participate in this project.
It is best to first download the files in the following links and only then
view them.

Discrete mathematics, probability theory, and their applications
Not by chance: Probability theory
Ely Merzbach suggests several projects
in probability theory, ranging from theory to applications.
Secrets and beauty: Public-Key Cryptography, Ramsey theory
Boaz Tsaban suggests
two different projects
to choose from, whose only connection is that they
are both of combinatorial flavor: One finite and one infinite.
The art of counting: Combinatorics
Yuval Roichman suggests a project in combinatorics (to be added).
Algebra
Points of view: Representation theory
Malka Schaps suggests a
project on groups and representation theory.
Mathematical tours: Tropical algebra
Louis Rowen suggests
several possible projects in tropical algebras, including linear algebras and geometric invariants.
Look, deform, think: Algebraic geometry, brain sciences
Mina Teicher suggests
projects in algebraic geometry and brain science.
Applied Mathematics
Winds of change: Oceanography
Ziv Kizner suggests a project on vortices.
