Mathematical Sciences: REU Experimental Mathematics

小米勒9400754 该奖项为数学科学本科生研究经验奖提供了新的资金。 十名本科生将参加为期八周的课程，他们是从全国范围内的申请者中挑选出来的。 经过一段时间的介绍性讲座和计算机熟悉，学生将开始他们的研究集中在具有共同主题的问题。 今年的活动是基于群论的计算和组合方面与几何和拓扑学的应用。 学生将被分成小组，每个小组在至少一名指导教师的监督下工作。 研究生也将参与指导活动，带来他们的经验和年龄的接近，以帮助学生不仅与他们的研究，而且给他们关于研究生的经验第一手的建议。 每个小组将准备一份最终的书面报告，每个本科生必须做口头报告。 将鼓励那些取得最大成功的人参加专业学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. ***
