Claremont Colleges Mathematics REU Site

克莱蒙特的五所本科学院，克莱蒙特麦肯纳学院、哈维马德学院、皮策学院、波莫纳学院和斯克里普斯学院，将共同赞助这个本科生研究经历网站。每年夏天，克莱蒙特大学的五名教师将带领10名本科生参加一个为期8周的数学研究项目，以及其他数学和社会活动，旨在让他们接触到数学方面的专业职业。学生将以3或4人为一组，在一名或两名指导教师的指导下完成一个原创研究项目。每年夏天将从不同的数学领域中选择两到三个主题，如低维拓扑，结理论，组合学，群表示，数论，统计学，动力系统，数学建模和计算机体系结构优化问题。每周的数学活动将包括研讨会，研究相关技能的研讨会（如图书馆研究，技术写作，口头报告和计算方法），以及数学职业机会的讨论。频繁的社交活动将使参与者能够与更多的克莱蒙特教职员工和参与暑期研究项目的非克莱蒙特学生进行互动。学生们将对他们的项目做一个最后的展示，写出一篇可能适合发表的书面论文，并在夏季结束后，鼓励他们在一个数学专业协会的会议上展示他们的工作。将提供专门用于这一目的的资金。参加者将在全国范围内选拔。先决条件每年都会根据当年的主题选择而有所不同。特别鼓励妇女、少数民族和其他传统上在专业数学领域代表性不足的群体申请。

The five undergraduate Claremont Colleges, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, Pomona,and Scripps, will jointly sponsor this Research Experiences for Undergraduates site. Each summer,five Claremont faculty will engage 10 undergraduates in an 8-week program of mathematicsresearch and other mathematical and social activities designed to expose them to professional careersin mathematics. Students will work in groups of 3 or 4 with one or two faculty advisorson an original research project. Two or three topics will be selected each summer from differentareas of mathematics such as low-dimensional topology, knot theory, combinatorics, group representations,number theory, statistics, dynamical systems, mathematical modeling, and optimizationproblems in computer architecture. Weekly mathematical activities will include seminars, workshopsin research related skills (such as library research, TEXnical writing, oral presentation, andcomputational methods), and discussions of career opportunities in mathematics. Frequent socialactivities will allow participants to interact with additional Claremont faculty and non-REUClaremont students also involved in summer research projects.Students will give a final presentation of their project, produce a written paper possibly suitablefor publication, and, after the summer is over, be encouraged to present their work at a meeting ofone of the mathematics professional societies. Funds specifically for this purpose will be available.Participants will be selected nationwide. Prerequisites will vary each year with choice of topicsfor that year. Women, minorities, and other groups traditionally underrepresented in professionalmathematics are especially encouraged to apply.
