The Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M University proposes to support fifteen students per year to participate in their eight week summer research experience for undergraduates program in the mathematical sciences. Three parallel summer programs are planned. The first program involves mathematical biology with emphasis on applications to complex ecosystems, infectious and other diseases. The second program involves the theory and application of wavelets. Wavelets are the basis for state-of-the-art data compression algorithms as applied to high-speed, high bandwidth communication, and audio and video compression technologies. The third area involves computational algebra and algebraic geometry. Applications include understanding the structure of complex macro-molecules such as proteins and DNA, and to solving large systems of polynomial equations which are ubiquitous in engineering and science applications. Student participation will enhance their training as future research scientists and mathematicians. Participants will present their research findings to a locally held conference as well as being encouraged to present them at national scientific meetings or publish them in journals targeted to undergraduate research. In the selection of participants, priority will be given to students coming from undergraduate programs offering limited access to research opportunities and to students from demographic groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences.This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

德州农工大学数学系建议每年支持15名学生参加为期8周的数学科学本科生暑期研究项目。三个平行的夏季计划。第一个计划涉及数学生物学，重点是复杂生态系统，传染病和其他疾病的应用。第二个程序涉及小波的理论和应用。小波是应用于高速、高带宽通信以及音频和视频压缩技术的最先进的数据压缩算法的基础。第三个领域涉及计算代数和代数几何。应用包括理解复杂大分子的结构，如蛋白质和DNA，以及解决在工程和科学应用中无处不在的大型多项式方程组。学生的参与将加强他们的培训，作为未来的研究科学家和数学家。参与者将在当地举行的会议上展示他们的研究成果，并鼓励他们在国家科学会议上展示或在针对本科生研究的期刊上发表。在参与者的选择中，将优先考虑来自本科课程的学生，这些学生提供有限的研究机会，以及来自数学科学中代表性不足的人口群体的学生。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。
