The Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Mathematics (REU) at the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge will engage a group of twelve nationally selected, highly motivated undergraduates in a researchexperience in current mathematical research in the area of Zeta Functions, Multi-Zeta Values & Link Invariants. Three faculty mentors will give an introduction to these common focus areas stating problemsand connections. Each then collaborates with a group of four students working on related projects in his area of research expertise.REU students are housed on the LSU campus, living in clustered suites of rooms; week-end social activities and daily afternoon teas foster the interaction of all participants and promote group cohesion. Afterintroductory lectures, the students group themselves into cohorts of four working on closely-related projects with each faculty mentor. Each student gives a final presentation, and submits a written paper in a form suitable for publication.
