A Mathematician's Practical Guide to Mentoring Undergraduate Research is a complete how-to manual on starting an undergraduate research program. Readers will find advice on setting appropriate problems, directing student progress, managing group dynamics, obtaining external funding, publishing student results, and a myriad of other relevant issues. The authors have decades of experience and have accumulated knowledge that other mathematicians will find extremely useful. Compared to other books on the market, this one stands alone as a complete 'how to' guide to create a URP from scratch, including the benefits and challenges of doing so (the only thing it is missing is an index). Other books on the market are more limited in scope: some simply summarize the myriad benefits of a URP as a high-impact practice; others give specific examples of open problems in mathematics that are accessible to undergraduate students; yet others help students navigate their way through the undergraduate research experiences, as well as introduce higher levels of mathematics as a 'boot camp' to help students jump in. This book alone offers complete support to faculty in establishing a new URP, including a wide variety of useful examples and links to more information. --J. W. Gaberdiel, MAA Reviews You do not need to be a mathematician to appreciate A Mathematician's Practical Guide to Mentoring Undergraduate Research . The book is filled with useful information, advice, and ideas for faculty engaging in undergraduate research based on the most successful ideas from the undergraduate research community. --Julio Rivera, Emeritus President of the Council on Undergraduate Research This book is a wonderful resource for those interested in engaging undergraduates in research. The authors' extensive experience in mentoring undergraduates in research is evident throughout. --Joseph A.
