A group of extraordinary Math students were among the most recent class of undergraduates invited to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's most prestigious academic honor society.  These students all have GPAs of 3.85 or higher and have completed coursework across humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, and competency in a second language.  Join us in congratulating Gregory Chan, Huiting Chen, Yudong Chen, Saya Egashira, Julie Hunter, Wanning Lu, Aidan Duc-Hung Mai, Katelyn Joelle Manansala, Boogie Mikulec, Sahibdeep Nann, Aditi Sadwelkar, Allen Zhang, Xiuyuan Zhang, and Ryan Minghao Zhao.

Congratulations to our 11 undergraduate math majors who have been named among the recipients of the 2024-2025 Dean's Undergraduate Award for Excellence!  The recipients are Yu Shang, Varun Sreedhar, Brian Ton, Pranav Reddy, Daniel Monroe, Mica Li, Adi Krishnamoorthy, Eric Nguyen, Rita Yujia Wu, Jihyun In, and Alisha Foster.

The Directed Reading Program in Mathematics pairs undergraduate participants with graduate student mentors to read a selected math text/paper.  It is designed to give undergraduates the ability to explore topics they might not see in the standard curriculum in a fun and stress-free environment.

Aimed at UCSD undergraduate Mathematics majors, the program could be suitable for undergraduates from any major who would like to further explore the field - applicants must have completed (or be in the process of taking) one of the Math 100/200, 220, or 140/240 series.
