REU Site at UT Tyler

该项目旨在每年暑假将9名学生带到德克萨斯大学泰勒分校，为本科生提供一次难忘的研究经历。学生将与三名教职员工在纽结理论、拼贴理论和组合学的项目上密切合作，这些项目都是经过精心挑选的既容易理解又有意义的单词。作为项目的一部分，学生们将撰写一篇包含他们结果的研究论文，并进行口头陈述，这将增强他们的沟通技能。除了研究经验，还将有几次有组织的郊游和社交活动，以鼓励同伴之间的联系和联系。三位教师导师都是第一代大学生，其中包括一名美国印第安人女性；她们都有本科研究经验，塑造了她们的生活和职业生涯，并参加了全国公认的本科教育学课程，以传承这一遗产。这个暑期项目的目的是向学生展示数学研究既有趣又有趣，希望这种经历为研究生学习铺平道路。这项提案旨在从代表性不足的群体中招收学生，特别是美国印第安人、女性和第一代大学生。

This project aims to bring nine students per summer to The University of Texas at Tyler for a memorable research experience for undergraduates. Students will work closely with three faculty members on projects in knot theory, tiling theory, and combinatorics on words that have been carefully chosen to be both accessible and significant. As part of the program, the students will write a research paper containing their results and give an oral presentation which will enhance their communication skills. The research experience will be complemented by several organized outings and social activities to encourage peer networking and bonding.The three faculty mentors are all first-generation college students, including one female American Indian; they all had an undergraduate research experience that shaped their lives and careers and have taken nationally recognized courses in undergraduate pedagogy to pass that legacy on. It is intended that this summer program will show students that mathematical research can be both fun and interesting, with the hope that this experience paves the way to graduate studies. This proposal aims to recruit students from underrepresented groups; in particular, American Indians, women, and first generation college students.
