Research Experiences for Undergraduates at UGA

我们将于2007年、2008年和2009年夏季在乔治亚大学为两组6-8名学生提供为期8周的REU课程。每组学生将在夏季与教师导师和研究生一起工作。此外，另一名教师将与需要额外背景材料的学生一起工作。该计划将在学年期间继续进行，5名学生将参与本科生/研究生的“垂直研究小组”。研究课题将从佐治亚大学教师的专业知识中选择，并将包括代数和几何结理论的持续研究项目。该计划预计将包括一个RET组件。该计划的目标是为本科生提供研究经验，鼓励他们参加研究生院，并为他们在研究生学习中取得成功做好准备。这个REU/RET项目由MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）和数学科学部（DMS）联合支持。

We will offer 8 week REU programs at the University of Georgia for two groups of 6-8 students during the summers of 2007, 2008, and 2009. Each group of students will work with a faculty mentor and graduate student during the summer. In addition, another faculty member will be available to work with students who need additional background material. The program will continue during the academic year with 5 students involved in undergraduate/graduate "Vertical Research Groups". Research topics will be selected from the expertise of the faculty of the University of Georgia, and will include continuing research projects in algebra and geometric knot theory. The program is anticipated to include an RET component. The objectives of the program are to provide undergraduate students with research experience, to encourage them to attend graduate school, and to prepare them to be successful in graduate study.This REU/RET project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).
