REU Site: Extremal Graph Theory and Dynamical Systems at RIT

罗彻斯特理工学院(RIT)的NSF-REU极值图论和动力系统项目将让学生进行为期八周的密集研究。在三个暑期中，每个暑期将选出八名学生。该计划的目标是：(I)让本科生，包括女性和少数族裔，参与数学和计算机科学研究；(Ii)通过会议演讲和推荐出版物，帮助学生传播他们的研究成果；(Iii)鼓励学生攻读数学科学研究生课程；(Iv)提供全面的研究体验，包括外部研究人员的反馈、公共演讲指导、科学写作和职业道德。学生将直接与RIT教师合作，并从外部专家那里获得关于他们项目的额外反馈。学生还将参加额外的教育活动，包括由外部演讲者举办的研讨会，以及准备学生旅费津贴提案。该计划将有一个重要的研究部分。近年来，人们对离散数学和计算机科学的研究成果产生了极大的兴趣。许多公开的数学问题都是由计算机科学衍生的新的算法方法解决的。我们的兴趣在于计算机科学和数学之间定义不精确的边界。我们将利用数学和计算机科学的方法，并期待这两个领域的结果。该项目的调查人员和高级人员包括Darren Narayan，Stanislaw Radziszowski，William Basener和Tamas Wiandt。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。

The NSF-REU Program in Extremal Graph Theory and Dynamical Systems at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) will engage students in eight weeks of intensive research. Eight students will be chosen in each of three summers. The program's goals are to: (i) involve undergraduates, including women and minorities, in mathematical and computer science research, (ii) assist students in the dissemination of their research through conference presentations and refereed publications, (iii) encourage students to pursue graduate studies in the mathematical sciences, and (iv) provide a well-rounded research experience that includes feedback from outside researchers, mentoring in public speaking, scientific writing, and professional ethics. The students will work directly with RIT faculty and receive additional feedback on their projects from outside experts. The students will also participate in additional educational activities, including seminars given by outside speakers, and the preparation of a student travel grant proposal. The program will have a significant research component. Research results in discrete mathematics and computer science have experienced a dramatic increase in interest in recent years. Many open mathematical problems have been solved by new algorithmic methods derived from computer science. Our interest lies on the imprecisely defined boundary between computer science and mathematics. We will take advantage of methods from mathematics and computer science and expect results in both areas.The investigators and senior personnel for the project include Darren Narayan, Stanislaw Radziszowski, William Basener, and Tamas Wiandt.The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
