Undergraduate Research Program in Mathematics

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏与再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。北亚利桑那大学数学与统计学系将主持2009- 2011年夏季REU项目。每年夏天，将在全国范围内选出六名学生参加这些项目，招生工作针对的是大学里规模较小的学院，并吸引未被充分代表的少数民族（特别是美国原住民和西班牙裔）。该系在过去的14个夏季接待了REU的学生，其教师在选择优质学生和8周学生研究项目的可行性方面都有经验。该项目的智力价值在于，它将允许学生参与者通过研究一个既适合又具有挑战性的问题，进行文献检索，口头展示他们的工作，并以适合出版的形式将他们的结果写下来，来体验研究过程。在评审期刊上发表论文被认为是该项目学生的目标。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Northern Arizona University will host a summer REU program for 2009-20011. Each summer, six students will be selected nationwide for these programs, with recruitment efforts targeted at smaller colleges at universities and towards attracting underrepresented minorities (specifically Native Americans and Hispanics.) The Department has hosted REU students for the past 14 summers and its faculty have experience both in the selection of quality students and in the feasibility of 8-week student research projects. The intellectual merit of the program lies In the fact that it will allow its student participants to experience the research process by working on a problem that is both suitable and challenging, carrying out literature searches, giving an oral presentation of their work and writing up their results in a form suitable for publication. Publication in a refereed journal is considered a goal for students in the program.
