The Indiana Research Experience for Undergraduates program at Indiana University, begun in 1966, offers a small, select, talented group of students the opportunity to experience the intensity of working on a problem whose solution is currently unknown. Working one-on-one with an IU faculty member for eight weeks during the summer, students develop their abstract problem solving skills, intellectual stamina, creativity, perseverance, communication skills, and work ethic. Most alumni of our program go on to pursue advanced degrees, and many now hold prestigious positions in academia, business, and government. The overall experience will give these students, whose interests may be quite diverse, an appreciation of the power, evolution, and usefulness of mathematics and of working mathematicians. This group will come to understand on the one hand the amazing diversity of mathematics, and on the other hand the deep unifying themes which span disciplines and centuries. The long term impact of this program is to increase the mathematical awareness of future decision makers and leaders. Such awareness may lead to wider use of mathematical methods in decision making and in creating new technologies.

印第安纳州大学本科生项目的印第安纳州研究经验始于1966年，为一小群经过挑选的有才华的学生提供了机会，让他们体验解决目前未知的问题的强度。 在夏季与IU教职员工一对一工作八周，学生培养他们的抽象问题解决能力，智力耐力，创造力，毅力，沟通技巧和职业道德。 我们计划的大多数校友继续攻读高级学位，许多人现在在学术界，商业和政府中担任要职。 整体经验将给这些学生，他们的利益可能是相当不同的，欣赏的权力，演变和有用的数学和工作的数学家。 这个小组将了解一方面数学的惊人多样性，另一方面跨越学科和世纪的深刻统一主题。该计划的长期影响是提高未来决策者和领导者的数学意识。 这种认识可能导致在决策和创造新技术中更广泛地使用数学方法。
