This is a proposal of an REU site project during the summers of 2010 and 2011 in the Center for Computational Sciences at Mississippi State University. The project is aimed at involving 6 undergraduate students each year in active research under the supervision of four applied mathematicians and statisticians who are dedicated researchers and mentors. The major area of concentration will be applied mathematics and biostatistics. The cross-cutting themes of the project are image processing, population dynamics, computational mathematical biology, and highly stratified model in biostatistics. In order to help the students develop a good understanding of contemporary research methods of selected problems, the investigators plan to provide them with well-marshaled lectures/workshops. The participants will be selected on the basis of their academic performance, their aptitude in mathematics, and the recommendation letters. There will be various mathematical sciences and industrial colloquia, scientific, cultural, and social activities enhancing the program.The primary focus of this project is mathematical and statistical training, active participation in research, and mentoring. The objectives are to provide the undergraduate students with meaningful research experience in applied mathematics and biostatistics, to show them the enjoyment of doing research, and to encourage them to pursue advanced degrees in mathematical sciences. Conference presentations and publication of their research findings will also be strongly encouraged. The senior personnel in this project are active researchers in applied mathematics and biostatistics and they have considerable experience in guiding and mentoring students to become successful researchers. This project will greatly contribute to the excitement and development of mathematical research among undergraduates. Materials used for the REU program will be freely shared with the community and posted on an on-line project library. There will be Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) activity after the REU program. In the fall semester after the second year program, we will conduct a one-day workshop for teachers from neighboring high schools to disseminate new findings from the REU program and to help them to have their students prepare for undergraduate research. Special efforts will be made to attract women and underrepresented groups, and participation from regions and institutions with limited research opportunities. This REU project will help maintain and strengthen our nation's leadership in scientific research in mathematical sciences and their applications.

这是密西西比州立大学计算科学中心2010年和2011年夏季REU站点项目的提案。该项目的目标是在四名应用数学家和统计学家的指导下，每年让6000名本科生参与积极的研究，他们是敬业的研究人员和导师。主要学习领域将是应用数学和生物统计学。该项目的交叉主题是图像处理、种群动力学、计算数学生物学和生物统计学中的高度分层模型。为了帮助学生更好地理解所选问题的当代研究方法，研究人员计划为他们提供精心安排的讲座/研讨会。参赛者将根据他们的学业成绩、数学天赋和推荐信进行挑选。将有各种数学科学和工业座谈会、科学、文化和社会活动加强该计划。该项目的主要重点是数学和统计培训，积极参与研究和指导。其目的是为本科生提供在应用数学和生物统计学方面有意义的研究经验，向他们展示从事研究的乐趣，并鼓励他们攻读数学科学的高级学位。还将大力鼓励会议发言和发表他们的研究成果。该项目的高级人员是应用数学和生物统计学方面的活跃研究人员，他们在指导和指导学生成为成功的研究人员方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将极大地促进本科生数学研究的兴奋和发展。用于REU项目的材料将免费与社区共享，并发布在在线项目库中。在REU项目结束后，将有教师研究经验(RET)活动。在第二年后的秋季学期，我们将为邻近高中的教师举办为期一天的研讨会，传播REU项目的新发现，并帮助他们的学生为本科研究做准备。将特别努力吸引妇女和代表性不足的群体，以及研究机会有限的区域和机构的参与。这个REU项目将有助于保持和加强我国在数学科学及其应用方面的科学研究的领导地位。
