What is it? The Directed Reading Program (DRP) in the UW Madison Department of Mathematics pairs undergraduate students with graduate mentors for semester-long independent studies. During the semester, the student will work through a mathematical text and meet weekly to discuss it with their mentor. The original DRP was started by graduate students at the University of Chicago over a decade ago, and has had immense success. It has since spread to many other math departments who are members of the DRP Network.

Why be a student?

  • Learn about exciting math from outside the mainstream curriculum!
  • Prepare for future reading and research, including REUs!
  • Meet other students interested in math!

Why be a mentor?

  • Practice your mentorship skills!
  • It strengthens our math community!
  • Solidify your knowledge in a subject!

Current Organizers: Ivan Aidun, Allison Byars, John Cobb, John Spoerl, Karan Srivastava
