Garity提交组织：俄勒冈州立大学地点：俄勒冈州立大学主要领域：数学，纯数学和应用数学本科生参与人数每年：10个夏季REU站点，每年8周国际组成：斯洛文尼亚卢布尔雅那大学Dusan Repovs教授就项目和客座讲座进行磋商。学生申请者联系方式：Dennis J. Garity, 541 737 5138, math_reu@math.oregonstate.edu信息网址：http://www.math.oregonstate.edu/~math_reu/Project摘要：每年将从全国各地选出10名本科生参加俄勒冈州立大学数学本科生研究经验项目。该项目从2009年开始为期4年，每年夏季授课8周。学生将从广泛的学院和大学招收，来自不同的背景。其预期影响是鼓励学生熟悉数学研究过程，目标是增加在这一领域提供专业知识的美国公民的数量。学生们将从事纯数学和应用数学以及数学计算机科学方面的项目。该计划将强调纯数学和应用数学，几何推理和建模，计算机模拟和建模之间的密切联系的主题。学生将与教师导师一起完成一个研究项目，并参加一个研讨会。他们将获得有关数学科学所需的各个领域和技术的信息，并将获得有关研究生院和就业机会的信息。研究项目的设计将使学生熟悉和精通数学研究的过程。这将使他们能够在自己的职业生涯中使用更好的研究方法，并为更广泛的社区服务。学生接触到的数学内容将使学生对他们将来会遇到的研究领域做出更明智的选择。通过材料展示者对各种教学风格的接触，将使学生在进入他们未来的职业生涯时了解哪些教学和沟通风格最有效。数学和演示软件方面的培训将使学生能够将他们的结果有效地传达给更广泛的社区。

Project Elements: Renewal of previously funded REU site: DMS 0453304 Project Title: REU Site: Computation and Modeling in Pure and Applied Mathematics Principal Investigator: Dennis J. Garity Submitting Organization: Oregon State University Location: Oregon State University Main Field: Mathematics, Pure and Applied Mathematics Number of Undergraduate Participants per year: 10 Summer REU Site, 8 weeks per year International Component: Consultation on projects and guest lectures by Professor Dusan Repovs of the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. Point of Contact for Student Applicants: Dennis J. Garity, 541 737 5138, math_reu@math.oregonstate.edu Web Address for information: http://www.math.oregonstate.edu/~math_reu/Project Abstract:Ten undergraduate students from across the country will be chosen each year to work in a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in Mathematics at Oregon State University. The program will be offered for eight weeks each summer for four years beginning in 2009. Students will be recruited from a broad range of colleges and universities and from diverse backgrounds. The intended impact is to encourage students to become familiar with the mathematical research process with a goal of increasing the number of U.S. citizens available to provide expertise in this area. The students will work on projects in pure and applied mathematics and mathematical computer science. The program will emphasize the theme of the close connection between pure and applied mathematics, geometric reasoning and modeling, and computer simulation and modeling. Students will work on a research project with a faculty mentor and attend a seminar. They will be given information about the various areas and techniques needed in the mathematical sciences and they will receive information about graduate school and employment opportunities. The research projects will be designed to make the students familiar with and proficient in the process of mathematical research. This will enable them to use better research methods in their careers and in service to the broader community. The mathematical content that students are exposed to will enable the students to make more informed choices about areas of research they will encounter in the future. The exposure to various teaching styles by the presenters of material will enable the students to enter their future careers with information about what teaching and communication styles work best. The training in mathematical and presentation software will enable the students to communicate their results effectively to the broader community.
