REU Site: Mathematics and Computing Research Experiences for Undergraduates at Iowa State University

数学系将在爱荷华州州立大学为本科生举办夏季课程“数学和计算研究经验”。参与者将花八个星期的时间研究项目，作为ISU活跃研究小组的一部分。 这些项目是在各种数学领域，代表了国际空间大学数学系的不同研究兴趣，包括动力系统，矩阵理论，图论和组合学，以及数学生物学;所有项目都利用计算方法。当前和以前的项目在网站www.math.iastate.edu/reu/上有更详细的描述。REU将以学生演讲的研讨会结束;每个团队还将准备一份最终报告。 预计这些项目将产生可持续的研究。除了开展自己的研究，学生将参加两个关于MATLAB和LaTeX的短期课程，以及每周一次的REU研讨会，在那里他们将听取各种数学主题的讲座和与参加研究生院相关的演讲。 参与者将获得助学金、大学学生宿舍住宿以及一些旅费和餐费，并将有机会参加REU学生的社交活动。每年12名学生将从全国优秀本科生库中选出。特别鼓励妇女和少数民族申请，这REU将与ISU妇女科学和工程暑期实习计划和爱荷华州AGEP/联盟计划同时运行，其中来自历史上的黑人大学的学生来到ISU数学系。

The Department of Mathematics will host the summer program Mathematics and Computing Research Experiences for Undergraduates at Iowa State University. Participants will spend eight weeks working on research projects as part of active research groups at ISU. The projects are in a variety of mathematical areas, representing the diverse research interests of the ISU Mathematics Department, including dynamical systems, matrix theory, graph theory and combinatorics, and mathematical biology; all projects utilize computational methods. Current and previous projects are described in more detail on the website www.math.iastate.edu/reu/. The REU will conclude with a symposium of student presentations; each team will also prepare a final report. It is expected that the projects will produce publishable research.In addition to carrying out their own research, students will attend two short courses on MATLAB and LaTeX and a weekly REU Seminar, where they will hear lectures on a variety of mathematical topics and presentations related to attending graduate school. Participants will be provided a stipend, accommodation in University student housing, and some travel and meal expenses, and will have the opportunity to participate in social activities for REU students. Each year twelve students will be selected from the national pool of talented undergraduates. Women and minorities are particularly encouraged to apply and this REU will run concurrently with the ISU Program for Women in Science and Engineering summer internship program and the Iowa AGEP/Alliance program, in which students from historically black colleges come to the ISU Mathematics Department.
