Mathematical Sciences: REU: Undergraduate Research Program in Graph Theory and Combinatorics

六名学生将参与一个本科生研究经验项目，重点研究图论、有限群和组合学中的数学问题。这是明尼苏达大学德卢斯分校（University of Minnesota- Duluth）资助数学本科研究的第12年（在REU成立之前）。由于它的成功历史，这个活动的问题来自全国各地，特别是来自以前的学生和熟悉它过去成就的数学家。典型的问题领域包括确定有向图中的电路，群的完全映射，图的标记和哈密顿路径。鼓励学生发表他们的作品。在过去的一年中，REU的学生单独撰写了15篇论文，并与教师合作。一个活跃的游客项目为夏季项目提供了广度和活力。除了慷慨的机构支持外，美国国家安全局（National Security Agency）也为这项工作做出了贡献。

Six students will participate in a Research Experiences for Undergraduates project focusing on mathematical problems in graph theory, finite groups and combinatorics. This constitutes the twelfth year (predating REU) in which undergraduate research in mathematics has been sponsored by the University of Minnesota- Duluth. Because of its successful history, problems for the activity come from all parts of the country - especially from former students and mathematicians familiar with its past accomplishments. Typical problem areas include determining circuits in digraphs, complete mappings of groups, labeling of graphs and Hamiltonian paths. Students are encouraged to publish their work. Fifteen papers were produced during the past year, written by REU students alone, as well as in collaboration with faculty. An active visitor program contributes breadth and vitality to the summer program. In addition to generous institutional support, the National Security Agency also contributes to this effort.
