MIT PRIMES is a free, year-long research program for high school students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The goal of PRIMES is to give talented high school students a unique experience of real mathematical research, letting them discover the joy and beauty of mathematical exploration; to inspire them to pursue careers in the mathematical sciences; and to diversify the pool of students interested in mathematics by providing additional opportunities for promising students with underprivileged backgrounds. This project funds the local Mathematics Section of PRIMES. PRIMES students will work on their research projects during the academic year, aided by weekly meetings with their mentors (MIT Mathematics Department graduate students) on the MIT campus. The projects will be presented at annual PRIMES conferences, and final papers will be posted on the Program website and disseminated through arXiv.org and academic journals. This project will fund research by high school students and their mentors in the following areas: quantum Schubert calculus, Ramsey multiplicity, the Richter-Thomassen conjecture and related topics, signatures of Hermitian forms arising in representation theory, structure of lower central series of associative algebras, and properties of closed polygonal paths with steps being roots of unity.

MIT PRIMES是马萨诸塞州理工学院为高中生提供的一项为期一年的免费研究计划。 PRIMES的目标是为有才华的高中生提供真实的数学研究的独特体验，让他们发现数学探索的乐趣和美丽;激励他们追求数学科学的职业生涯;并通过为有前途的贫困学生提供额外的机会，使对数学感兴趣的学生多样化。 该项目为PRIMES的当地数学部门提供资金。 PRIMES学生将在学年期间从事他们的研究项目，并在麻省理工学院校园内与他们的导师（麻省理工学院数学系研究生）每周举行会议。这些项目将在年度PRIMES会议上提出，最后的论文将张贴在该方案的网站上，并通过arXiv.org和学术期刊传播。该项目将资助高中生及其导师在以下领域的研究：量子舒伯特演算，拉姆齐多重性，里希特-希瓦森猜想及相关主题，表示论中产生的厄米特形式的签名，结合代数的低中心系列的结构，以及具有步骤的封闭多边形路径的属性是统一的根。
