Mathematical Sciences: REU: Undergraduate Research in Mathematics

这个在拉斐特学院的REU网站奖汇集了六名学生研究人员在五个可能的数学领域的教师监督下工作。他的工作涉及到从应用运筹学到交通流应用、大数强定律中的边界跨越、概率论领域和图的多项式不变量等问题的调查。此外，还将考虑数论中连分数模m的短周期收敛性的研究，以及网络理论中可靠性问题引起的k端网络的研究。在为期两个月的活动中，外部演讲者将穿插在教师和学生的演讲中。学生们将以三人为一组，但每个人都将负责进行独立研究。在项目结束时需要对工作进行总结。

This REU site award at Lafayette College brings together six student researchers for work under faculty supervision in five possible areas of mathematics. The work involves investigation of problems from applied operations research leading to traffic flow applications, boundary crossings in the strong law of large numbers, an area of probability theory, and polynomial invariants of graphs. In addition, work on short periods of the convergents of continued fraction moduluo m in number theory and the study of k-terminal networks arising from reliability problems in network theory will be considered. Outside speakers will be interspersed with faculty and student presentations during the two-month activity. The students will work in groups of three, but each will be responsible for producing independent research. Write-ups of the work at the end of the project is required.
