REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Mathematical Sciences and its Applications

德克萨斯农工大学数学系建议每年资助15名学生参加为期8周的暑期数学科学本科生研究项目。三个平行的暑期课程正在计划中。第一个项目涉及数学生物学，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新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多项式方程的大型系统。学生的参与将加强他们作为未来研究科学家和数学家的训练。参与者将在当地召开的会议上展示他们的研究成果，并被鼓励在全国性的科学会议上展示他们的研究成果，或者在面向本科生研究的期刊上发表他们的研究成果。在选择参与者时，将优先考虑来自获得研究机会有限的本科专业的学生，以及来自数学科学中代表性不足的人口统计学群体的学生。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作资助。

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.
