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

爱荷华州立大学数学系将举办“本科生数学与计算研究经验”暑期项目。参与者将花八周的时间在研究项目上工作，作为ISU活跃研究小组的一部分。这些项目涉及多个数学领域，代表了国际滑联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；所有的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/上有更详细的描述。REU最后将举办学生专题讨论会；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，在那里他们将听到各种数学主题的讲座和与读研相关的演讲。参加者将获得津贴，住宿在大学学生宿舍，以及一些交通费和餐费，并有机会参加REU学生的社会活动。每年将从全国优秀本科生中选拔12名学生。特别鼓励女性和少数族裔申请，该REU将与ISU女性科学与工程暑期实习项目和爱荷华州AGEP/联盟项目同时开展，该项目旨在让历史上的黑人学院的学生来到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.
