REU Site: Cornell's Summer REU Program in Mathematics

每年夏天，12名本科生将参加为期8周的研究计划，在康奈尔大学数学系由3名教员（首席研究员，R。在研究生和博士后的协助下，从现任和前任部门成员中选出2人。 学生们将致力于研究项目，在他们的把握，并提出了真实的机会，新的发现，这将是有价值的数学界。 预计部分（但不是全部）研究将导致发表论文。 将强调两种类型的项目：1）与学生编写程序或使用现有软件的计算机相关研究; 2）不需要大量背景知识的其他领域的问题。 此外，学生们将获得通过向彼此和公众发表演讲来交流数学的经验。更多信息可以在该项目的网站上找到：http://www.math.cornell.edu/Undergraduate/REU/REU.htmThis项目让学生有机会为数学界感兴趣的研究项目做出贡献。 预计这项研究将继续在分形分析领域产生重大影响。 教师导师都是各自领域的领导者。学生参与者将获得一个真正的感觉是什么数学研究是像在一个主要的研究型大学，因为他们将合作研究小组，包括高级教师，博士后和研究生的一部分。 这将有助于招募有才华的学生进入数学科学研究生院。

Each summer, 12 undergraduate students will participate in an 8 week research program in the Cornell University Mathematics Department directed by 3 faculty members (the Principle Investigator, R. Strichartz, and 2 other chosen from among current and former department members) and assisted by graduate students and postdocs. The students will work on research projects that are within their grasp, and which present real opportunities for new discoveries that will be of value to the mathematical community. It is expected that some, but not all, of the research will lead to published papers. Two types of projects will be emphasized: 1) computer related research with students writing programs, or using existing software; 2) problems in other areas that do not require a great deal of background knowledge. In addition, the students will gain experience in communicating mathematics by presenting talks to each other and to the public. Additional information can be found at the project's website: http://www.math.cornell.edu/Undergraduate/REU/REU.htmThis project gives students the opportunity to contribute to research projects of interest to the mathematical community. It is expected that the research will continue to have a significant impact in the area of analysis on fractals. The faculty mentors are leaders in their fields. Student participants will get a true feeling for what mathematical research is like at a major research university, as they will be part of collaborative research groups including senior faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. This will help recruit talented students to enter graduate school in the mathematical sciences.
