FSU Math Directed Reading Program
The DRP in Mathematics is a program designed to provide undergradute students with the opportunity to engage in independent study under the guidance and mentorship of a graduate student. Please see the DRP website for more information.
Seminars and Colloquia
All FSU students are welcome to attend math department seminars and colloquia. The department offers a weekly tea and Colloquium most Friday afternoons in the fall and spring semesters.
