REU Site in Pure and Applied Mathematics: Oregon State University

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award provides support for ten undergraduate students in mathematics and mathematical computer science. The students will be chosen from diverse schools and areas of the country and will work on research projects under the supervision of faculty advisors at Oregon State University. The program will run for eight weeks each summer during the years 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. The principal investigator organizes and supervises the program. Three faculty members from the Mathematics Department and the Computer Science Department will supervise the student research projects.The students will also attend a seminar and will be given information about various areas of mathematics and computer science. The projects that the students work on will be designed so as to make the students familiar with the process of mathematical research. The projects will emphasize the interaction between pure and applied mathematics. Each student must complete a report on their research activities for inclusion in written proceedings of the summer program. Some post-program support will be available for the students to present the results of their research at conferences.
