I’m getting PUMPed up

Today I was accepted into an undergraduate research program at CSUN.  The program is called the PUMP program  – Preparing Undergraduates through Mentoring toward Ph.D.s.  Here is the description of the research I will be pursuing as the Professor who is advising me puts it –

I expect Noah to
learn fully the theory of Groebner basis of ideals of polynomial rings,
and to learn to compute with such basis using a programming environment
that incorporates symbolic computation.  Such computations are very
relevant to algebraic geometry

Sounds interesting huh?  As soon as I figure out what it means I will let you know!  I do know that it means I will be even busier – but don’t worry, I’ll still make it a point to post at least once a day.  It also means another book to start reading – Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms.  Fun Stuff.
