The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a Ph.D. granting research department that is regionally and nationally recognized for excellence in teaching and promoting undergraduate research. The Nebraska REU draws on these qualities to cultivate an environment that emphasizes interaction among its students and among its students and the Department as the students develop their research skills. In addition to research, there is an emphasis on developing written and oral communication skills in mathematics. The Nebraska REU is an eight-week summer program for 10 undergraduate students. The program is designed to help mathematically talented students carry out research in areas of applied mathematics that include: differential/difference equations on time series, continuous and discrete modeling in the life sciences, and stochastic modeling in the life and social sciences. The students will work in groups of 2-4 under the mentoring guidance of one or two applied mathematicians and a graduate student. With the help of their mentors, they will write up their results in a form suitable for journal publication; and, in most cases, will submit their results to a journal. All groups will present their results in a conference setting during the last week of the REU. Social activities are planned throughout the eight weeks. In addition to the $3,000 stipend, on-campus room, board, and the student recreation center are provided at no cost to the participant. The Department will also provide students up to $400 toward the cost associated to presenting their REU results at a national conference. Students live on the main campus, just a 5 minute walk from downtown Lincoln, in a dormitory that has a state of the art cafeteria. Lincoln, as the state capitol with a population of about 220,000, is a very pleasant town with ample free cultural activities, parks, and jogging paths for your enjoyment during the summer when you need a break from the mathematics.

内布拉斯加大学林肯分校数学与统计系博士。授予研究部门，是区域和国家公认的卓越教学和促进本科生研究。内布拉斯加州REU借鉴这些素质，培养一个环境，强调其学生之间的互动和学生和部门之间的学生发展他们的研究技能。除了研究，还有一个重点是发展书面和口头沟通能力的数学。内布拉斯加州REU是一个为期八周的夏季课程，为10名本科生。该计划旨在帮助有数学天赋的学生在应用数学领域进行研究，包括：时间序列的微分/差分方程，生命科学中的连续和离散建模，以及生命和社会科学中的随机建模。学生将在一个或两个应用数学家和一个研究生的指导下，以2-4人为一组进行工作。在导师的帮助下，他们将以适合期刊出版的形式撰写他们的结果;并且，在大多数情况下，将他们的结果提交给期刊。所有小组将在REU的最后一周在会议上介绍他们的结果。社交活动计划在整个八周。除了3,000美元的津贴，校园内的房间，董事会和学生娱乐中心提供免费的参与者。该部门还将为学生提供高达400美元的相关费用，以在全国会议上展示他们的REU结果。学生住在主校区，距离林肯市中心仅5分钟步行路程，宿舍内设有最先进的自助餐厅。林肯，作为州议会大厦与人口约220，000，是一个非常愉快的小镇有充足的免费文化活动，公园，和慢跑路径为您享受在夏天当你需要从数学休息。
