Math Jam Spring 2026

Math Jam is a huge review session where LAs, TAs and instructors come together to help students prepare before finals week.

The Spring 2026 Math Jam will be Thursday, May 7 from 9am to 2pm on the 3rd and 4th floors of Keller.  All students from Math 134, 140X, 215, 241, 242 and 252A are invited to this event.

Students should sign up here (this will let us order the right amount of snacks).

For more information, you may contact mathjam@math.hawaii.edu

We are looking forward to see you there!

Undergraduate math research

Here are some of our faculty members and their work providing undergrads with research experiences. Interest students are encouraged to contact the faculty member directly via email.
  • Monique Chyba has been working with undergraduates for many years, on drones, Covid, etc.
  • Elizabeth Gross has worked with undergraduate students on topics related to her research in algebraic geometry, algebraic statistics, and algebraic biology. 
  • Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen works with undergraduate researchers sponsored by UROP (Summer 2019, Spring 2023) and sponsored by Decision Research Corporation (Summers, 2020-2025)
  • Daisuke Takagi
    Possible research topics include the dynamics of bacteria and plankton, collecting and analyzing data from laboratory experiments, and mathematical modeling with differential equations.
    Here’s a link to his lab https://takagilab.com/
  • Sarah Widiasih Post has worked with undergraduate students on topics in mathematical physics, including projects supported by UROP on solitons and integrable systems.
  • Rufus Willett is interested in working with students on connections between linear algebra, topology, and analysis.
    Prerequisites will vary depending on the topic, but a good knowledge of the material in 307/311, 321, and 331 is important.
  • Malik Younsi worked with an undergraduate researcher sponsored by UROP (summer 2019)
  • Hailun Zheng is interested in working with students on topics concerning the combinatorics of polytopes or simplicial complexes. Student should have knowledge of linear algebra and maybe a bit about combinatorics or topology.
Students interested in undergraduate research might also consider Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs). A list is available here:  https://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/list_result.jsp?unitid=5044
