REU Site: Fairfield REU in Mathematics and Computational Science

费尔菲尔德大学数学和计算科学本科生研究体验项目是一个为期八周的暑期项目，旨在让有才华的本科生参与标准大学课程之外的原始数学和计算研究。该项目每年夏天接待9到12名学生，提供校内住宿和学生津贴。这些学生通常来自那些参加教师资助的本科生夏季学术活动的机会有限的机构，特别鼓励那些在数学和计算机领域代表性不足的群体的学生申请。在整个项目中，参与者以小组形式工作和学习，每个小组都与费尔菲尔德大学的一位教师导师就其专业领域的研究课题进行密切磋商。该计划的主要目标是让参与者为以研究为基础的科学事业做好准备，并使每个学生不仅对个人科学研究的重要性有深刻的理解，而且对研究所适合的更广泛的合作背景也有深刻的理解。这是通过为学生提供研究队列的经验来实现的，这是该计划设计的动机。通过为学生和他们的教师导师创造一个合作的环境，该计划使实现其目标的手段，允许数学和计算学科的普遍进步，并促进参与该计划的所有学术专业人员的持续学术和教学发展。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作提供支持。

The Fairfield University Research Experience for Undergraduates Program in Mathematics and Computational Science is an eight-week summer program designed to engage talented undergraduates in original mathematics and computing research beyond the standard college curriculum. The program hosts between nine and twelve students per summer, providing on-campus housing and student stipends. The students will typically come from institutions with limited access to faculty-sponsored summer scholarly activity for undergraduates, and students from groups that are underrepresented in mathematics and computing are especially encouraged to apply. Throughout the program, the participants work and learn in small groups, each group in close consultation with an individual Fairfield University faculty mentor on research topics drawn from the mentor's field of expertise. The principal goal of the program is to prepare the participants for research-based scientific careers, and to engender in each student a deep understanding not only of the importance of individual scientific research, but also of the broader context of collaboration into which that research fits. This is achieved by providing the students with the experience of a research cohort, which is the motivation for the design of the program. By creating an environment of collaboration for the students and their faculty mentors, the program enables the means to achieve its goal, allows for the general advancement of the mathematics and computing disciplines, and fosters the continuing scholarly and pedagogical development of all the academic professionals involved in the program.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
