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

数学系将在爱荷华州立大学为本科生举办数学和计算研究体验暑期项目。作为执行支助大学积极研究小组的一部分，参与者将在研究项目上花费八周时间。这些项目涉及不同的数学领域，代表了执行支助股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；所有项目都使用计算方法。目前和以前的项目在网站www.math.iastate.edu/reu/上有更详细的说明。REU将以学生陈述研讨会结束；每个小组还将准备一份最终报告。预计这些项目将产生可发表的研究成果。除了开展他们自己的研究外，学生们还将参加两门关于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研究生院相关的陈述。参赛者将获得津贴、大学生住宿以及部分路费和伙食费，并将有机会参加REU学生的社会活动。每年将从国家人才本科生库中挑选12名学生。特别鼓励女性和少数族裔申请，这一REU将与ISU女性科学与工程暑期实习计划和爱荷华州AGEP/联盟计划同时进行，在该计划中，来自历史上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.
