Applied Math Three-Minute Thesis Videos:
Applied Math graduate students are active in the Three-Minute Thesis competitions. In this competition, students have one slide and three minutes to explain their thesis research to a general audience!
Below are links to three-minute thesis videos by Applied Math graduate students from some previous competitions.
