Mathematical Sciences: REU: Computational Theory and Graph Theory

这个REU网站项目将支持六个本科生 学生从事教师指导的研究在德克萨斯州基督教 大学 该活动将持续八周。 学生们将把他们的研究重点放在研究问题上， 计算群论和图论，集中在 研究由滑块难题产生的群体。 研究 将需要一些计算机知识和抽象的 代数软件GAP，学生将在 项目在一个独立的方向。 学生将 预计将产生文件，详细说明他们的工作成果。 他们将被鼓励在数学方面做演讲 会议在学年;此外，论文 特别的优点将准备出版在适当的 期刊

This REU site project will support six undergraduate students engaged in faculty directed research at Texas Christian University. The activity will run for an eight-week period. Students will focus their studies on research problems in computational group theory and graph theory, centering on the study of groups arising from sliding block puzzles. The research will require some knowledge of computers and of the abstract algebra software GAP, which the students will acquire during the project in a self-contained orientation. Students will be expected to produce papers detailed the results of their work. They will be encouraged to give presentations at mathematics meeting during the academic year; in addition, papers of exceptional merit will be prepared for publication in appropriate journals.
