Collaborative Research: Pacific Undergraduate Research Experience in Mathematics

太平洋本科数学研究经验（PURE Math）是一个双层学术指导计划，针对美国太平洋岛民和数学科学领域其他代表性不足的群体。这个合作的5年MCTP计划将被安置在夏威夷大学？i在希洛（UHH）和管理，人员配备，并在UHH和山姆休斯顿州立大学（SHSU）的4名教员管理。 纯数学将对114名对数学科学感兴趣的STEM本科生和几名希望让学生参与研究的初级教师产生持久的积极影响。 纯数学有两个主要目标。 首先是增加获得学位和追求数学科学事业的本土太平洋岛民的数量; PURE Math将专注于指导这些学生从计算问题过渡到更多的理论概念。 第二个目标是为UHH的初级教师提供宝贵而持久的指导经验，他们将接受指导本科生研究的培训。 纯数学将提供一个创新的，两层的高等数学课程超过五个夏天，包括实习生计划和居民计划。 实习生计划是一个为期5周的高等数学研讨会，其中60名较低水平的本科生将发现通常不包括在本科数学课程的主题。 居民计划是一个为期8周的夏季本科生研究经验，介绍54个高层次的本科生数学由经验丰富的研究人员领导的活跃领域。 这些夏季经验将允许纯数学学生参与者有效地从较低层次的计算工作过渡到较高层次的抽象工作，并从本科研究到研究生工作。 纯数学将最终鼓励在太平洋岛屿的本科数学研究的持久环境。 此外，它将增加研究的基础设施和本科生和教师之间的数学合作的氛围。

The Pacific Undergraduate Research Experience in Mathematics (PURE Math) is a dual-tiered, academic mentoring program targeting U.S. Pacific Islanders and other underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences. This collaborative 5-year MCTP program will be housed at the University of Hawai?i at Hilo (UHH) and administered, staffed, and managed by 4 faculty members at UHH and Sam Houston State University (SHSU). PURE Math will have a lasting, positive impact on 114 STEM undergraduates interested in the mathematical sciences and several junior faculty members who wish to engage students in research. PURE Math has two primary goals. The first is to increase the number of native Pacific Islanders earning degrees and pursuing careers in the mathematical sciences; PURE Math will focus on mentoring these students through their transition from computational problems to more theoretical concepts. The second goal is to provide valuable and lasting mentoring experiences to junior faculty at UHH, who will be trained in directing undergraduate research. PURE Math will offer an innovative, two-tiered advanced mathematics program over five summers that consists of an Interns program and a Residents program. The Interns program is a 5-week advanced mathematics workshop in which 60 lower-level undergraduates will discover topics not typically included in an undergraduate mathematics curriculum. The Residents program is an 8-week summer undergraduate research experience introducing 54 upper-level undergraduates to active fields of mathematics led by seasoned researchers. These summer experiences will allow PURE Math student participants to transition effectively from lower-level computational work to upper-level abstract work, and from undergraduate research to graduate work. PURE Math will ultimately encourage a lasting environment of undergraduate mathematical research in the Pacific Islands. Furthermore, it will add to the growing infrastructure of research and atmosphere of mathematical collaboration between undergraduates and faculty.
