Also, we have received some questions about whether the DRP will be running this semester, even with classes being held remotely. We do intend to continue the program as normal, but we expect that students and mentors will meet by Zoom (or some other video calling software). We believe the DRP is a helpful resource for undergraduates to get connected to upper-level mathematics and the people who study it, and this type of connection is perhaps even more important in a time where we aren’t connecting in-person within the department and in our classes.
While having our projects online may introduce extra challenges, we are committed to doing whatever we can to help all our participants have a fun and successful semester. We are currently preparing some guidelines for how to successfully do a DRP project remotely, so check back here for more details later! And if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at berkeleymathematicsdrp@gmail.com.
Spring 2020 Application Deadline Extended
Update: We’ve extended the application deadline until Wednesday, February 5, at 11:59pm. We plan to send out project pairings for the semester by Friday, February 7th. This is after the last day to drop a class without a fee, so if you have already applied and now realize your course schedule won’t give you time to commit to the DRP, please let us know by emailing us at berkeleymathematicsdrp@gmail.com. If you aren’t sure whether you’ll have time or not, please see this page of our website (specifically, the “Expectations for undergraduates” section).
We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to email us!

Fall 2019 Pairings Finished
Applications for the fall 2019 semester are now closed. If you applied but did not receive an email with pairing information, then unfortunately, we were unable to offer you a project this semester. We had many strong applicants and would have liked to offer a project to all of them, but we didn’t have enough mentors to do so. We encourage you to apply again next semester; once you have more classes under your belt, your application will be even stronger!
Fall 2019 Application Deadline Extended
Because we opened applications late this semester, we’re extending the application deadline until next Wednesday, September 11th, at 11:59pm. So if you’re still interested in applying, please head on over to this page!
