About

The International Undergraduate Mathematics Summer School is an intensive two-week program held annually at Seoul National University. It brings together advanced undergraduate students from around the world to engage with research-level mathematics through lecture courses and short talks given by leading mathematicians.

The school covers a broad range of topics in pure mathematics, including geometry, algebra, analysis, number theory, and mathematical physics. Each participant is expected to have a solid foundation in undergraduate mathematics.

The program is open to undergraduate students and recent graduates. Participation is free of charge. Details on registration and support will be announced in due course.
