项目摘要

The objective of the Duluth REU program is to provide a professional level research experience for nine of the nation's most talented undergraduate mathematics students, an experience that is not available at their home institutions nor at other REUs. The program provides a unique research community-of-peers setting that emphasizes developing the independence of each student. Rather than having students work in groups on problems with a faculty adviser who contributes substantially to the research effort, at Duluth the approach is to treat undergraduate students with extraordinarily high potential for doing significant research as though they are working on a PhD thesis problem where the adviser provides the problem and mentoring but avoids direct involvement in solving the problem.The program has a 38 year history of developing students into independent, high level research mathematicians and integrating them into the research community at an early stage of their careers. The program has produced over 200 papers published in well regarded professional research journals and 133 PhDs. The development of human resources is the explicit purpose of the Duluth REU program. The most significant contribution the Duluth program makes towards that purpose is the training of future generations of mathematicians who will foster undergraduate research when they become professionals. Participants in the program become part of a network of extraordinary alumni who are important members of the mathematics community. Among them are people who are tenured, or on tenure track, at Princeton (Fields medal winner and member of the National Academy of Sciences), MIT (3 total, one with an endowed chair and a member of AAAS), Stanford, Chicago, Berkeley, Columbia, Cornell, UC San Diego and Northwestern. Ten are American Mathematical Society Fellows. Duluth REU alumni have substantially contributed to the national security and the economic competitiveness of the U.S. Many alumni have been employed at the Center for Communications (a subdivision of the Institute for Defense Analysis) at La Jolla and Princeton and two are at the National Security Agency. Program alumni have been employed at Google, Microsoft, IBM, AT&T, Facebook, Sun Microsystems, Dropbox, Ksplice, Quixey, Yelp, Khan Academy, and a variety of other software companies, and three have started their own companies.

德卢斯REU项目的目标是为美国九名最有才华的本科生提供专业水平的研究体验，这是他们的母校或其他REU所没有的。该计划提供了一个独特的研究社区的同行环境，强调发展每个学生的独立性。德卢斯的方法不是让学生与对研究工作做出重大贡献的教师顾问一起小组处理问题，而是对待那些在进行重大研究方面潜力非常大的本科生，就像他们正在处理博士论文问题一样，顾问提供问题和指导，但避免直接参与解决问题。该项目已有38年的历史，将学生培养成独立的、高水平的研究数学家，并在他们职业生涯的早期阶段将他们纳入研究社区。该项目已发表了200多篇论文，发表在声誉良好的专业研究期刊上，并获得了133名博士学位。人力资源的开发是德卢斯REU计划的明确目标。德卢斯项目对这一目标做出的最重大贡献是培养未来几代数学家，他们将在成为专业人员后促进本科生的研究。该计划的参与者成为杰出校友网络的一部分，这些校友是数学界的重要成员。其中包括普林斯顿大学(菲尔兹奖章获得者，美国国家科学院院士)、麻省理工学院(共3人，其中一人拥有捐赠主席，同时也是AAAS成员)、斯坦福大学、芝加哥大学、伯克利分校、哥伦比亚大学、康奈尔大学、加州大学圣地亚哥分校和西北大学。其中10人是美国数学学会的研究员。德卢斯REU校友为美国的国家安全和经济竞争力做出了巨大贡献。许多校友受雇于拉霍亚和普林斯顿的通信中心(国防分析研究所的一个分支机构)，其中两人在国家安全局工作。该项目的毕业生曾受雇于谷歌、微软、IBM、AT&amp；T、Facebook、太阳微系统公司、Dropbox、Kplice、Quixey、Yelp、Khan Academy和其他各种软件公司，其中三家已经创办了自己的公司。
