Mathematical Sciences: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Mathematics

本科生科研体验计划 涉及10名本科生将支持这一点 奖 该活动将在夏季进行八周 在1991年。 学生将被分配个人的教师顾问 并将致力于与感兴趣的项目密切相关的项目， 给顾问。 为了促进学生之间的互动，他们 将被安置在一起。 此外，经常提交进度报告， 将由学生发给整个团队。 将有丰富多样的研究课题。 这些 包括对经济学中的不确定性建模的工作，波浪和 欧拉偏微分方程，轨道几何， 线性群体和电脑游戏。 所有的学生都会被告知 使用数学软件，如 数学课，Macsyma和Maple. 会议结束时提出的报告 项目将需要。 所有的教师目前都参与了高层次的 数学研究;这应该增加相当大的货币， 给大学生留下的印象 需要指出的 印第安纳州大学的数学系 举办暑期项目的悠久历史， 数学专业研究经验。 他们开始在 1970年代初，在NSF的支持下一直持续到1981年 本科生研究参与计划。

A program of Research Experiences for Undergraduates involving 10 undergraduate students will be supported by this award. The activity will run for eight weeks during the summer of 1991. Students will be assigned individual faculty advisors and will work on projects closely allied with those of interest to the advisor. To foster interactions between students, they will be housed together. In addition, frequent progress reports will be given by students to the entire team. There will be a rich variety of research topics. These include work on modeling uncertainty in economics, the wave and Euler partial differential equations, the geometry of orbits of linear groups and computer gaming. All students will be briefed on the use of mathematical software available, such as Mathmatica, Macsyma and Maple. Reports at the conclusion of the project will be required. All of the faculty are currently involved in high-level mathematical research; this should add considerable currency to the impressions made on the undergraduates. It should be pointed out that the Mathematics Department of Indiana University has a long history of conducting summer programs designed to give mathematics majors research experience. They started in the early 1970's, continuing until 1981 with support from the NSF Undergraduate Research Participation Program.
