REU Site: Nebraska REU in Applied Mathematics

内布拉斯加大学林肯分校的数学与统计系是一个授予博士学位的研究部门，因其卓越的教学和促进本科研究而得到地区和国家的认可。内布拉斯加州REU利用这些品质来培养一个强调学生之间以及学生和部门之间互动的环境，以培养学生的研究技能。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是一个为期八周的暑期项目，招收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，生命科学的连续和离散建模，以及生命和社会科学的随机建模。学生将以2-4人为一组，在一至两名应用数学家和一名研究生的指导下进行研究。在导师的帮助下，他们将以适合期刊发表的形式撰写他们的研究结果；而且，在大多数情况下，他们会把结果提交给期刊。所有小组将在REU最后一周的会议上展示他们的结果。社会活动贯穿整个八周。除了3,000美元的津贴外，还免费为参与者提供校内食宿和学生娱乐中心。该部门还将为学生提供高达400美元的费用，用于在全国会议上展示他们的REU结果。学生们住在主校区，距离林肯市中心只有5分钟的步行路程，宿舍里有最先进的自助餐厅。林肯作为州首府，人口约22万，是一个非常宜人的小镇，有充足的免费文化活动，公园和慢跑小径，当你在夏天需要从数学中休息一下时，你可以享受。

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.
