Undergraduate Research in Algebra, Dynamical Systems, Probability and Number Theory

霍普学院将于1998年夏天为6名数学本科生举办一个REU项目。至少有三名学生将从霍普学院以外招收。学生将以两人为一组，由三名教师导师中的一名指导。项目将从代数、动力系统、概率论和数论中选择。主要目标是帮助有才华的学生发展为数学研究者，促进数学研究作为一种职业，并使参与者在与教师导师的合作中取得重大的数学成果。此外，将鼓励学生在专业会议上展示他们的作品并以出版形式发表。这个项目将持续八周。每组学生将被分配自己的项目或问题来解决。在教师研究人员的介绍性讲座之后，学生将被释放来解决他们自己的问题，这将首先涉及阅读背景材料和图书馆研究。学生通常每天都会与他们的导师见面。在项目结束时，学生们将写下他们的结果，并向彼此展示他们的问题和发现。

Hope College will host an REU program for six undergraduates in mathematics in the summer of 1998. At least three of the students will be recruited from outside of Hope College. Students will work in groups of two with one of three faculty mentors. Projects will be chosen from algebra, dynamical systems, probability, and number theory. Primary goals are to help talented students develop as mathematical researchers, to promote mathematics research as a career, and to have the participants achieve significant mathematical results in partnership with a faculty mentor. Moreover, students will be encouraged to present their work at professional meetings and in published form. The program will be eight weeks. Student pairs will be given their own project or problem to solve. After introductory lectures given by the faculty researchers, students will be set loose to tackle their own problems which will initially involve reading background material and library research. Students will generally meet with their faculty mentors daily. Toward the end of the project, students will write up their results and present their problems and discoveries to each other.
