This REU is a collaborative effort between Clemson University and Spelman College. Undergraduate students who have a solid background in mathematics are invited to apply for an eight-week research experience in computational algebraic geometry, number theory and combinatorics to be held at Clemson University. Preference for up to four of these positions will be given to qualified applicants who have roots in the Southeastern United States. In addition, two of the participants will be undergraduates from Spelman College. The participants will be offered up to $500 in travel support, a dorm room to be shared with other participants in the REU, up to $800 for meals and a stipend of $3,400 in return for their participation in this program.Participants will be introduced to various tools, techniques and problems from computational algebraic geometry, number theory, and combinatorics. Faculty will present several potential research problems the first week of the REU. The participants will divide themselves into teams of two to four participants and pick one of the problems presented on which to focus for the remainder of the REU. The goal of the program is to help students attain a higher level of independence in mathematical research by giving them the opportunity to take part in a significant and interesting research project. Guidance will be provided on giving effective presentations, applying to graduate schools, and other topics of interest to the participants. The teams will write up a final report summarizing their research findings before leaving the program. They will also be encouraged to publish papers based upon their work when appropriate. Students will be encouraged to attend appropriate conferences and present their work. In addition to the faculty research mentors, our program provides vertical integration as graduate students will help mentor the undergraduate students. As a complement to working on their research, students will attend a weekly lecture series. These lectures will be given by faculty that been recognized as leaders in the various fields related to the students' research problems and who have demonstrated the ability to clearly communicate mathematical ideas to audiences of varying levels of mathematical maturity.

这个REU是克莱姆森大学和斯佩尔曼学院之间的合作努力。邀请具有坚实数学背景的本科生申请在克莱姆森大学举行的为期八周的计算代数几何、数论和组合学研究经验。 其中最多四个职位的优先权将给予在美国东南部扎根的合格申请人。 此外，其中两名参与者将是斯佩尔曼学院的本科生。 参与者将获得高达500美元的旅行支持，与REU的其他参与者共享宿舍，高达800美元的膳食和3，400美元的津贴作为他们参与该计划的回报。参与者将被介绍给各种工具，技术和计算代数几何，数论和组合数学的问题。 教师将提出几个潜在的研究问题的第一周的REU。参与者将自己分成两到四人一组，并选择一个提出的问题，重点放在剩下的REU。 该计划的目标是通过让学生有机会参加一个重要而有趣的研究项目，帮助学生在数学研究中获得更高水平的独立性。 指导将提供有效的演讲，申请研究生院，以及其他感兴趣的参与者的主题。 在离开项目之前，这些团队将撰写一份总结他们研究结果的最终报告。 还将鼓励他们在适当时发表基于其工作的论文。 将鼓励学生参加适当的会议，并介绍他们的工作。除了教师的研究导师，我们的计划提供垂直整合作为研究生将帮助指导本科生。作为对他们的研究工作的补充，学生将参加每周一次的系列讲座。 这些讲座将由被公认为与学生的研究问题相关的各个领域的领导者的教师提供，他们已经证明了向不同数学成熟度的观众清楚地传达数学思想的能力。
