Week 1

We arrived in College Station and got settled in The Tradition at Northgate. We had a day of 'orientation' with the other REU students and met with our faculty mentors. The weather has been overwhelmingliy hot (or rainy) but we're getting used to it. We learned about the research topic and saw examples of how the hexsim simulator works.

Week 2

We met with our faculty mentor individually and chose our specific research topics. We have access to the Parasol Lab but are mostly working from our individual computers.

Week 3

We made progress in working with a space-filling algorithm.
