REU Site: Mathematical Modeling, Statistics, and Number Theory at California State University, Chico

在加州州立大学的REU/RET数学项目中，CHICO接待了对数学或统计学有浓厚兴趣的中学教师和完成了三年级学业的本科生。每年暑假为期七周，包括三名教师在内的十二名学员将分成三个研究小组，研究数学建模、统计学和数论方面的问题。根据不同的领域，研究项目可能适合数学以外的科学学科的学生。研究经验旨在让参与者欣赏数学及其应用的广度和深度，同时为本科生提供机会来提高他们的沟通技能，并为在职教师提供一种经验，加深他们对数学内容的理解，并启发教学创新。通过解决数学中的开放问题，参与者将体验到探索、发现、分析、证明和系统化的兴奋，这些都是数学家世界的一部分。虽然很多数学是经过多年的学习才能接触到的，但这个领域足够丰富，足以让你在本科水平上获得全面的数学体验。

The REU/RET program in mathematics at California State University, Chico hosts secondary teachers with a strong interest in mathematics or statistics and undergraduate students who have completed their junior year. For seven weeks each summer, twelve participants, including three teachers, will work in three research teams on problems in Mathematical Modeling, Statistics, and Number Theory. Depending on the field, projects may be appropriate for students from scientific disciplines other than mathematics.The research experience is intended to give participants an appreciation for the breadth and depth of mathematics and its applications, while providing undergraduates an opportunity to improve their communication skills and in-service teachers an experience that will deepen their understanding of mathematical content and inspire pedagogical innovation. By working on open problems in mathematics, participants will experience the excitement of exploration, discovery, analysis, proof, and systematization that are part of the mathematician's world. While much of mathematics is accessible only after years of study, the field is rich enough to allow for a full mathematical experience at the undergraduate level.
