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.
