Mathematical Sciences: REU Site: Oregon State University

一项为期八周的本科生研究体验计划将由这笔助学金资助。十名学生将单独或以小组形式研究几个数学领域的项目。咨询工作人员包括两名首席调查人员、三名教员助理和一名研究生助理。参与者将选择或设计自己的项目，编写关于其活动的书面报告，并参加小型课程，这些课程将被录制下来分发。从MacIntosh实验室到Sequent并行机，将提供充足的计算设施。研究主题将从不同的教师专业领域中挑选出来。它们包括遍历理论、图论和组合学、概率论、数论和交换代数。该部门也因其专注于断层成像数学的研究而在全国范围内得到认可。这一奖项代表着首席调查员的第五个REU现场奖。40名以前的参与者中，有许多人现在正在攻读科学研究生课程。

An eight.week Research Experiences for Undergraduates program will be supported by this grant. Ten students will work individually or in small groups on projects in several areas ofmathematics. The advisory staff includes two principal investigators, three faculty associates and a graduate assistant. Participants will choose or design their own projects, prepare written reports on their activities and participate in mini.courses, which will be videotaped for distribution. Ample computing facilities ranging from a MacIntosh laboratory to a Sequent parallel machine will be available. Research topics will be chosen from a variety of areas of faculty expertise. They include ergodic theory, graph theory and combinatorics, probability, number theory and commutative algebra. The department is also nationally recognized for its research concentration on the mathematics of tomography. This award represents the principal investigator's fifth REU site award. Many of the 40 former participants are now pursuing graduate work in science.
