IAYM is a summer internship programme designed to stimulate creativity through ‘hands on’ applications of mathematics with the help of computing techniques. The programme is open to high school and college level students, and features a stipend as well as travel and stay support.
Richard Hamming (1915--98) was one of the great applied mathematicians. Many past student projects at MSF have used structures that he created. This quote by him seems appropriate for IAYM:
"In research, if you know what you are doing, then you shouldn't be doing it."
