Research Experiences for Undergraduates: Modeling and Industrial Applied Mathematics

北卡罗莱纳州立大学数学系REU项目的目标是为本科生提供夏季大学建模和工业数学的研究经验。具体主题将包括：生物数学（血流模型、软骨、月经周期、传染病等）、材料科学（智能材料和最佳滑道）、金融数学。，符号计算，数据挖掘，计算机视觉，以及由Calabazas Creek Research， Inc.共同赞助的一个新的工业项目。这个REU项目将为不同的学生群体提供丰富的应用数学研究经验，这将鼓励他们继续他们的学术课程到研究生水平，并将帮助他们在他们的学术或非学术职业生涯中做出更明智的决定。目标学生参与者包括在学术上表现出色的即将升入高年级和特殊的即将升入初中的数学专业。将特别考虑到会人数不足的群体。学生招聘联系人是Aloysius G. Helminck (loek@unity.ncsu.edu，和919-515-7720),Hien Tran （tran@math.ncsu.edu, 919-515-8782）和REU网站http://www.math.ncsu.edu/mathREU。每年将有15名学生参加为期10周的暑期REU项目。除了研究之外，该项目还包括在统计与应用数学科学研究所（SAMSI）举行的数学建模研讨会，SAMSI是一个由国家科学基金会资助的研究所。行业代表也会就他们的数学问题进行演讲。此外，与NCSU的其他REU项目联合举办了关于研究伦理、海报展示、研究生院准备以及一些社会功能的研讨会。在学年期间，学校为有项目的学生提供参加专业会议的机会，这些项目发展到可以进行演讲的程度。

The objective of the REU program in the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University is to provide undergraduates with summer university research experiences in Modeling and Industrial Mathematics. Specific topics will include: biomathematics (blood flow models, cartilage, menstrual cycle, infectious diseases etc.), Material Science (Smart materials and optimal chutes), Financial Math., Symbolic Computation, Data Mining, Computer Vision, and a new industrial project co-sponsored by Calabazas Creek Research, Inc. This REU program will provide a rich applied mathematics research experience to adiverse population of students that will encourage them to continue their academic programs to the graduate level and will help them in making more informed decisions about their academic or nonacademic careers. Targeted student participants include rising senior and exceptional rising junior mathematics majors who have demonstrated academic excellence. Particular consideration will be given to under-represented groups. Student recruitment points of contact are Aloysius G. Helminck (loek@unity.ncsu.edu, and 919-515-7720), Hien Tran (tran@math.ncsu.edu, 919-515-8782) and through the REU website http://www.math.ncsu.edu/mathREU. Fifteen students per year will participate in the ten-week summer REU program. In addition to research, the program includes a workshop on mathematical modeling at theStatistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI), a national NSF funded institute, inthe first week. There will also be presentations from industry representatives on their mathematicalproblems. Additionally, joint with other REU programs at NCSU are workshops on research ethics,poster presentations, graduate school preparation, as well as a number of social functions. Duringthe school year, travel to professional meetings is offered for students with projects that developedto the point where talks can be given.
