REU Site: Analytical and Statistical Methods in the Mathematical Sciences

阿尔伯特·博格斯博士(Pi)和Jay Walton博士(共同担任PI)(数学)与Dave Larson博士(数学)和Tom Wehrly博士(统计学)提议在德州农工大学的College Station建立一个NSF REU数学和统计网站。我们寻求在2003年6月开始的三年内为60名学生参与者提供资金。REU的学生将加入A&Amm本科生和研究生的行列，他们是我们Vigre项目的参与者，该项目举办垂直整合的研究研讨会，涵盖教师感兴趣的主题。在2003年夏天，我们打算同时运行两个为期八周的课程；一个是矩阵分析和小波，由Dave Larson组织的数学课程，另一个是生态数学课程。生态学的项目将至少有两个轨道--一个涉及统计模型，由Tom Wehrly在《统计学》中组织，另一个涉及扩散模型，由Jay Walton在Math中组织。戴夫·拉森和杰伊·沃尔顿都在我们目前的REU项目中扮演了关键角色，两人都在学年为我们的Vigre项目组织了类似的研讨会。在未来的夏季(2004年及以后)，还会有更多的REU课程计划，这些课程很可能是在学年期间成功举办的Vigre研讨会上产生的。参加者将获得每周250美元的津贴，外加每天25美元的食物津贴。他们还将住在校园内的宿舍，这些宿舍将直接由助学金支付。

Drs. Albert Boggess (PI) and Jay Walton (co-PI) (in Math) together with Drs. Dave Larson (Math) and Tom Wehrly (in Statistics) propose to establish an NSF REU Site in mathematics and statistics at Texas A&M University in College Station. We seek funding for 60 student participants over a three year period starting in June, 2003. REU students will join A&M undergraduate and graduate students who are participants in our VIGRE program, which runs vertically integrated research seminars covering topics of interest here to the faculty. During the summer of 2003, we intend to run two simultaneous eight-week programs; one in matrix analysis and wavelets, organized by Dave Larson in Math, and the other in the mathematics of ecology. The program in ecology will have at least two tracks - one involving statistical models, organized by Tom Wehrly in Statistics, and the other involving diffusion models, organized by Jay Walton in Math. Both Dave Larson and Jay Walton have played key roles in our current REU program and both have organized similar seminars during the academic year for our VIGRE program. In future summers (2004 and beyond), additional REU programs are planned and will likely arise from successful VIGRE seminars that run during the academic year. Participants will be paid a stipend of $250 per week plus a $25 per day food allowance. They will also stay in on-campus dormitories which will be charged directly to the grant.
