The RAMP (Review of
Advanced Mathematical Problems) is a four week hands-on problem-solving
experience offered to incoming graduate students. Students entering the program
in the fall and not needing to follow the English Language Institute training
are given the chance to come to the department for four weeks during the
summer. In this time, faculty and senior graduate students help in review
sessions covering key aspects of the undergraduate curriculum and preparing the
freshmen for the rigors of the new semester. In addition to the reviewing
experience, The RAMP has the added value of creating ties in the incoming class
and introducing them to faculty and current graduate students. Some social
activities and attendance to the Summer Research Symposium give plenty of
opportunities for social interaction and learning about the department
