Mathematical Sciences: REU: Undergraduate Research Program in Discrete Mathematics

这个REU网站奖支持六名本科生研究人员 在首席研究员的监督下工作。 它 延续了每年夏季研究项目的传统， 自1977年以来的一年（一年除外），由主要研究者进行， 经常招募以前的学生来帮助这个项目。的 工作的质量是非常高的，在四十四个 参加过这些项目的学生中， 到研究生院，12人已经获得博士学位。 该计划中撰写的32篇论文已经在 已出版，9个正在印刷，12个或更多正在审查中 和准备中。 该计划的主要研究主题 是离散数学，反映在图的问题中 理论、组合学、有限群和着色问题。 问题往往建立在以前的程序所做的工作， 通过与同事的通信， 期刊 每个学生都有一个单独的问题， 在程序结束时需要写。 学生 鼓励他们在各种专业领域展示自己的工作 会议.

This REU site award supports six undergraduate researchers working under the supervision of the principal investigator. It continues a tradition of summer research programs conducted every year (except one) since 1977 by the principal investigator who often recruits former students to assist with the program. The quality of the work is exceptionally high, Of the forty-four students who have been through the programs, thirty-two have gone to graduate school, and twelve have already earned the Ph.D. Thirty-two papers written in the program have already been published, nine are in press and a dozen or more are under review and in preparation. The principal research theme of the program is discrete mathematics as reflected in problems from graph theory, combinatorics, finite groups and coloring problems. Problems often build on work done in previous programs, through correspondence with colleagues, and by searching journals. Each student is given an individual problem and a write-up at the end of the program is required. Students are encouraged to present their work at various professional meetings.
