The Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Stout will host an REU in mathematics where 8 students will attend an 8 week summer research program during each of the summers of 2012--2014. The research theme for the projects is the use of computational tools to address geometric questions in algebra and analysis. The program will involve students in research that addresses open questions in algebraic geometry, complex analysis and geometric group theory. Participants will be organized into two groups consisting of four students and two faculty mentors each, with a resident computer science faculty member providing theoretical and practical computer science support to both groups. The projects have been designed to allow students a strong chance to achieve results and partial results that are important to the current research of their faculty mentors.Broader objectives of this REU are, (1) to increase the participation in mathematics research by first-generation college students, (2) to motivate these students to pursue graduate education, (3) to prepare participants to succeed in graduate school. Many universities throughout the upper Midwest region where UW-Stout is located have large percentages of first-generation students, and at these schools we will specifically recruit qualified first-generation students who may not otherwise consider attending graduate school or an REU. We will prepare and motivate participants for graduate school through professional development seminars in skills necessary for success in graduate school as well as visits to industry and guest lectures that will expose the participants to a broad range of possible research careers. Additionally, research projects have been selected that introduce students to subjects and tools that they will encounter in graduate school but that they may not see in their undergraduate work. After the program ends, communication will be maintained with participants for the purposes of writing up and publishing results obtained, presenting results at national and regional conferences and for serving as resource mentors for the participants as they begin the next phases of their academic and professional careers.

威斯康星大学斯托特分校数学、统计和计算机科学系将举办数学 REU，8 名学生将在 2012 年至 2014 年的每个夏天参加为期 8 周的夏季研究项目。 该项目的研究主题是使用计算工具来解决代数和分析中的几何问题。 该项目将让学生参与解决代数几何、复分析和几何群论中的开放性问题的研究。 参与者将被分为两组，每组由四名学生和两名教师导师组成，一名常驻计算机科学教师为两组提供理论和实践计算机科学支持。 这些项目旨在让学生有很大的机会取得对其导师当前研究很重要的成果和部分成果。该 REU 的更广泛目标是：(1) 增加第一代大学生对数学研究的参与，(2) 激励这些学生接受研究生教育，(3) 为参与者在研究生院取得成功做好准备。 UW-Stout 所在的中西部北部地区的许多大学都有很大比例的第一代学生，在这些学校，我们将专门招收合格的第一代学生，否则他们可能不会考虑进入研究生院或 REU。 我们将通过专业发展研讨会，介绍研究生院成功所需的技能，以及参观行业和客座讲座，为研究生院的参与者做好准备和激励，让参与者接触到广泛的可能的研究职业。 此外，还选择了研究项目，向学生介绍他们在研究生院会遇到但在本科工作中可能不会看到的主题和工具。 项目结束后，将与参与者保持沟通，以便撰写和发布所获得的结果，在国家和地区会议上展示结果，并在参与者开始下一阶段的学术和职业生涯时充当资源导师。
