Mathematical Sciences: REU Experimental Mathematics

9400754米勒这一奖项为数学科学领域的本科生研究体验奖提供了新的资金。十名本科生将参加为期八周的项目，他们是从全国范围内的申请者中挑选出来的。在一段时间的入门讲座和熟悉计算机之后，学生们将开始集中研究具有共同主题的问题。今年的活动以群论的计算和组合方面为基础，并应用于几何和拓扑学。学生将被分成几个小组，每个小组在至少一名教师指导下工作。研究生还将参与指导活动，将他们的经验和年龄亲近带给学生，不仅帮助他们进行研究，还向他们提供关于毕业经验的第一手建议。每个小组将准备一份期末书面报告，每个本科生必须做一次口头报告。将鼓励那些取得最大成功的人参加专业协会的区域或国家会议。***

9400754 Miller This award provides renewed funding for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates award in the mathematical sciences. Ten undergraduate students will participate in an eight week program, having been selected from applicants in a nationwide search. Following a period of introductory lectures and computer familiarization, students will begin their research concentration focusing on problems having a common theme. This year's activity is based on computational and combinatorial aspects of group theory with applications to geometry and topology. Students will be divided into small groups, each working under supervision of at least one faculty advisor. Graduate students will also be involved in mentoring activities, bringing their experience and closeness of age to assist students not only with their research but also to give them first hand advice regarding the graduate experience. Each team will prepare a final written report and each undergraduate must make an oral presentation. Those achieving the most success will be encouraged to participate in regional or national meetings of professional societies. ***
