REU Site: Willamette Valley Consortium for Undergraduate Mathematics Research

威拉米特谷REU-RET数学研究联盟联合了四所院校：威拉米特大学，刘易斯克拉克学院，林菲尔德学院和波特兰大学，为本科生和教师提供为期八周的夏季数学研究体验。四所合作院校中的每一所都将拥有一个由四名学生，一名教师和两名教师导师组成的研究团队。 每个研究团队将专注于数论，图论，组合博弈论，概率统计，几何，计算机科学或应用分析的教师研究兴趣的项目。 所有四个研究小组将在星期四聚集在一起，就他们的项目进行非正式和正式的会谈，邀请演讲者进行演讲，以及社交活动。该计划的目标是（1）让数学学生和教师参与数学研究，（2）建立一个数学家，学生和教师的网络，以促进对数学研究的理解和机会，以及（3）增加参与者对数学领域的知识，特别是通过提高对数学职业机会的认识。我们邀请来自太平洋西北地区的美国学生和教师申请。 我们特别鼓励传统上在数学领域代表性不足的群体成员的申请，如妇女和少数民族群体。有关更多信息，请访问我们的网站：www.willamette.edu/~ijohnson/REU-RET/index.htmlThis REU/RET项目由MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）和数学科学部（DMS）共同支持。

The Willamette Valley REU-RET Consortium for Mathematics Research unites four institutions: Willamette University, Lewis & Clark College, Linfield College, and the University of Portland, for an eight week summer mathematics research experience for undergraduates and teachers.Each of the four partner institutions will host a research Team consisting of four students, one teacher, and two faculty mentors. Each research Team will focus on a project from faculty research interests in number theory, graph theory, combinatorial game theory, probability and statistics, geometry, computer science, or applied analysis. All four research Teams will gather on Thursdays for informal and formal talks about their projects, presentations by invited speakers, and social activities.The objectives of the program are to(1) engage mathematics students and teachers in mathematical research,(2) build a network of mathematicians, students and teachers to advance the understanding of and opportunity for mathematical research, and(3) increase the participants' knowledge of the field of mathematics, in particular by raising awareness about career opportunities in mathematics.We invite applications from U.S. students and teachers from the Pacific Northwest. We especially encourage applications from members of groups traditionally under-represented in mathematics, such as women and minority groups.For more information please see our website:www.willamette.edu/~ijohnson/REU-RET/index.htmlThis REU/RET project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).
