REU Site: Investigations in Combinatorics and Knot Theory

加州州立大学圣贝纳迪诺分校的本科生研究体验项目（REU）将邀请八名全国范围内挑选的学生参加为期八周的暑期组合学和结理论研究体验。来自代表性不足的群体或来自没有博士课程的学院和大学的学生在这个项目中有重要的参与，特别鼓励他们申请。两位教师导师将提供背景知识，并介绍这两个领域的潜在研究问题，然后每个导师将与四名学生组成的小组合作。在项目结束时，每个学生都要对他们的作品进行口头和海报展示，并提交一份适合发表的书面论文。REU的学生住在大学公寓里。每周的郊游，既有娱乐性的，也有教育性的，建立了团队凝聚力，并提供了从严格的研究中休息一下的机会。每周一次的茶会，向校园社区开放，提供机会与没有参与REU项目的教师和学生见面，并为参与者提供一个论坛，在非正式的环境中讨论他们的项目。

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) at California State University San Bernardino will invite eight nationally selected students to participate in an eight-week summer research experience in combinatorics and knot theory. Students from underrepresented groups or from colleges and universities without doctoral programs have had a significant involvement in this program, and are especially encouraged to apply. Two faculty mentors will provide background and introduce potential research problems in both areas, and will then each collaborate with a group of four students. At the conclusion of the program, each student gives both oral and poster presentations of their work, and submits a written paper suitable for publication.REU students are housed in the university apartments. Weekly outings, both recreational and educational, build group cohesion and provide breaks from the rigors of research. Weekly teas, open to the campus community, provide opportunities to meet faculty and students not involved with the REU program, and provide a forum for participants to discuss their projects in an informal setting.
