Academic Program

The IUSEP academic program consists of a variety of formats.

Our top researchers will give lectures on some exciting areas of modern mathematics. These lectures are given at a level that are suitable for undergraduate students in mathematics, and aim to provide students with a glimpse and taste of the kind of mathematics that are done in these areas.

These lectures will be supplemented by informal tutorial sessions where students can interact with the lecturers.

Time: 15 lectures + 5 tutorial sessions = 40 hours

Our lecturers will each offer several tantalizing problems in an area of mathematics, to be solved collaboratively by students in groups. Each student group will consist of both Canadian and international students, to facilitate cross-cultural learning and communication. Lecturers and graduate students will be mentors that guide the group projects.

Time: 3 weeks.

Our social activities will allow you to experience campus life at UAlberta. Explore the city of Edmonton and Canada's great outdoors - from our famous river valley to the Devonian Botanic Garden, a 190 acre property of manicured gardens, mixed woodland vegetation and an extreme nature trail system, as well as our many summer festivals. The cost of the social activities will be covered in the program fee.
