CSUDH Math/Science/Engineering Alliance for Minority Participation (AMP) 
Supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. HRD-0331537

Summer Research Program 2006

The goal of CSU-LSAMP is to broaden participation in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (STEM) disciplines and contribute to the national agenda to increase the number of underrepresented minorities receiving baccalaureate degrees in STEM disciplines. 
Goal
This program will be concentrating primarily on solving challenging problems concerning spline functions. The results of the research will be made public in the form of a report and might be submitted for publication.
