California State University, San Bernardino, one of 23 campuses of the largest public university system and a designated Hispanic Serving Institution, hosts this REU in Mathematics. The program provides the opportunity for eight undergraduate students, primarily from groups underrepresented in mathematics, to carry out guided independent and collaborative research in a residential environment. For eight weeks during each of the summers of 2002 through 2004, participants will increase their level of mathematical independence by completing well-designed research projects. The objectives of the REU in Mathematics at CSUSB are to Get undergraduates actively involved in, and enthusiastic about, mathematical research, Move students towards mathematical independence and maturity, and Encourage participants to pursue careers in mathematics in either academia or industry.Effective recruitment is essential to achieving these objectives, and minimum requirements for participants include a course in Combinatorics or Discrete Math as well as a class that requires proofs. Participants will be chosen in March of each year, and the program will run from late June through mid-August. Research projects will be taken from topics in Combinatorics and Knot Theory, with a group of students working in each field. Projects within a given field will be chosen so that significant mathematical interaction occurs between students working in the same field. Moreover, participants will work closely with experienced faculty advisors to complete background reading related to their topic, give presentations on relevant material, and begin writing a journal-style paper. As the summer progresses, students will perform their own literature searches, make independent discoveries and conduct creative mathematical research. In addition to regular presentations and paper assignments, each student will create a poster describing their results, give a twenty-minute final presentation to the campus community at CSUSB, and complete a journal-style paper about their project. Thus participants will have a comprehensive research experience, as well as having communicated mathematics visually, verbally, and in writing.Field trips that introduce participants to careers and graduate school in mathematics have been scheduled. Recreational trips will also be taken in an effort to maximize moral and minimize monotony. Upon completing this program students will have actively experienced mathematical research, increased their level of mathematical maturity, and have been introduced to career paths that involve mathematics. The result is a student that is better prepared to pursue a career in mathematics and more aware of the available career options.For further information regarding the REU in Mathematics at CSUSB contact Dr. Joseph Chavez by phone at [phone], via e-mail at [e-mail], or visit the web site http://www.math.csusb.edu/reu.

圣贝纳迪诺的加州州立大学是最大的公立大学系统的23个校区之一，也是指定的西班牙裔服务机构，在数学方面主持这个REU。 该计划为八名本科生提供了机会，主要来自数学代表性不足的群体，在住宅环境中进行指导性的独立和协作研究。 在2002年至2004年的每个夏天的八个星期，参与者将通过完成精心设计的研究项目来提高他们的数学独立水平。 CSUSB数学REU的目标是让本科生积极参与并热衷于数学研究，推动学生走向数学独立和成熟，并鼓励参与者在学术界或工业界从事数学职业。有效的招聘对于实现这些目标至关重要，参与者的最低要求包括组合数学或离散数学课程以及需要证明的课程。 参与者将在每年3月选出，该计划将从6月下旬持续到8月中旬。 研究项目将从组合数学和纽结理论的主题，与一组学生在每个领域的工作。 在一个给定的领域内的项目将被选择，以便在同一领域工作的学生之间发生显着的数学互动。 此外，参与者将与经验丰富的教师顾问密切合作，完成与他们的主题相关的背景阅读，对相关材料进行演示，并开始撰写期刊式论文。 随着夏季的进展，学生将进行自己的文献检索，进行独立的发现和进行创造性的数学研究。 除了常规的演示文稿和论文作业，每个学生将创建一个海报描述他们的结果，给在CSUSB校园社区20分钟的最后演示，并完成一个关于他们的项目日志式的文件。 因此，参与者将有一个全面的研究经验，以及沟通数学的视觉，口头和书面。实地考察，介绍参与者的职业生涯和研究生院在数学已经安排。 短途旅行也将被采取，以最大限度地提高道德和减少单调。 完成该计划后，学生将积极体验数学研究，提高他们的数学成熟度水平，并被介绍给涉及数学的职业道路。 其结果是一个学生，是更好地准备追求职业生涯中的数学和更了解可用的职业选择。有关在CSUSB数学REU联系约瑟夫·查韦斯博士的进一步信息通过电话[phone]，通过电子邮件在[e-mail]，或访问网站http://www.math.csusb.edu/reu。
