REU Site: Interdisciplinary Scientific Computation at Ohio Wesleyan University

该奖项支持俄亥俄州卫斯理大学本科生研究经验（REU）网站的更新。每个本科生参与者将在俄亥俄州卫斯理大学教师的指导下进行为期十周的研究项目，涉及以下学科之一：物理学，天文学，计算机科学，数学/统计学或神经科学。该计划将有助于为研究和教育开发更好的基础设施，并培养国家所需的STEM劳动力。这些项目将专注于科学计算的一个或多个方面，例如：数值（用“传统”编程语言编码），符号（使用计算机代数程序，如Mathematica®）和数据可视化。REU网站的一个重要目标是让参与者意识到计算技术跨越学科界限的能力。 每个研究小组每周举行一次会议，报告进展情况，所有参与者都可以讨论项目，这将促进参与者之间的社区意识，并指出计算技术在解决不同学科问题方面的优势。 一系列每周，半小时，教师主导的研讨会将向与会者介绍广泛使用的计算工具。在研究期结束时将举行一次研究专题讨论会，让与会者介绍他们的成果。

This award supports the renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at Ohio Wesleyan University. Each undergraduate participant will work on a ten-week research project under the guidance of an Ohio Wesleyan University faculty member in one of the following disciplines: physics, astronomy, computer science, mathematics/statistics, or neuroscience. The program will help to develop a better infrastructure for research and education, and develop the STEM workforce that is needed for the Nation.The projects will focus on one or more aspects of scientific computation, such as: numerical (coding in a "traditional" programming language), symbolic (using a computer algebra program such as Mathematica®), and data visualization. An important goal of the REU site is to make participants aware of the ability of computational techniques to cross disciplinary boundaries. Weekly meetings, in which individual research groups give progress reports and all participants are able to discuss the projects, will foster a sense of community among the participants and point out the strengths of computational techniques to tackle problems in varying disciplines. A series of weekly, half-hour, faculty-led seminars will introduce participants to widely used computational tools. A research symposium will be held at the end of the research period for participants to present their results.
