REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Algebra, Probability, and Analysis

霍普学院将举办一个为期八周的REU项目，每年为六名本科生提供数学课程。每对学生将与三名教员中的一名一起工作。项目将从代数、概率和分析的主题中选择。主要目标是帮助有才华和有动力的学生发展成为数学研究者，促进数学研究作为一种职业，并使参与者在与教师导师的合作中取得重要的数学成果。特别是，学生将1)学习新的数学，2)通过学习阅读数学课本、期刊和研究论文获得数学独立性，3)解决一个原始的数学问题，4)学习口头交流数学，5)写一篇适合提交给期刊的数学论文。这三对学生将在整个夏季的每周研讨会上非正式地向对方介绍他们的问题和结果。学生和教师导师将就如何在正式和非正式场合更有效地交流数学思想向演讲者提供反馈。在课程结束时，学生将在与其他REU课程一起举行的会议上撰写并正式发表论文。

Hope College will host an eight week REU program for six undergraduates per year in mathematics. Pairs of students will work with one of three faculty members. Projects will be chosen from topics in algebra, probability and analysis.Primary goals are to help talented and motivated students develop as mathematical researchers, to promote mathematics research as a career, and to have the participants achieve significant mathematical results in partnership with a faculty mentor. In particular, students will 1) learn new mathematics, 2) gain mathematical independence by learning to read math texts, journals, and research papers, 3) solve an original mathematical problem, 4) learn to communicate mathematics verbally, and 5) write a mathematical paper suitable for submission to a journal.The three student pairs will present their problems and results to each other informally throughout the summer at weekly seminars. Students and faculty mentors will give feedback to presenters on how to more effectively communicate mathematical ideas in both formal and informal settings. Towards the end of the program students will write and formally present papers at a conference held in conjunction with other REU programs.
