SMALL Undergraduate Research Project

小型本科生研究项目是由美国国家科学基金会资助的本科生研究经验网站。 被录取的学生将以2-4人为一组，与教师一起进行数学原创研究。 每个小组将有一个单一的指导教师。 1999年，我们目前正在计划五个小组，可能在结理论，不混溶流体和测地线网，遍历理论，交换代数和向量值形式的领域。学生将证明定理，发表论文，并在本科生会议和研究会议上就他们的工作发表演讲。 在1999年，所有学生将参加数学节，在普罗维登斯，RI在7月底谈论他们的工作。学生将住在校园威廉姆斯的九个星期的夏天，为未来五个夏天的每一个。 由该补助金资助的学生总数是在接下来的三个夏天每年8人，然后在最后两个夏天15人。 该计划的学生总数将至少有这么多，额外的学生人数取决于其他资金来源。

The SMALL Undergraduate Research Project is a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site funded by the National Science Foundation. Students admitted into the program will work in groups of 2-4 with faculty on original research in mathematics. Each group will have a single faculty advisor. For 1999, we are currently planning on five groups, probably in the areas of knot theory, immiscible fluids and geodesic nets, ergodic theory, commutative algebra and vector-valued forms.The students will prove theorems, publish papers and give talks on their work at undergraduate conferences and at research conferences. In 1999, all students will attend Mathfest, in Providence, RI at the end of July to talk on their work.The students will reside on campus at Williams for nine weks of the summer, for each of the next five summers. The total number of students funded by this grant is 8 for each of the next three summers and then 15 for the last two summers. The total number of students in the program will be at least this many, with the number of additonal students depending on other sources of funds.
