Program activities include:
– Four core workshops in algebra, analysis, measure theory, and machine learning, and mini-courses in supporting topics.
– Daily collaborative problem sessions with advanced graduate student mentors.
– Regular office hours and highly personalized feedback from facilitators.
– Weekly colloquium on a variety of research topics.
