REU Site: San Diego State University Mathematics Research Experience for Undergraduates

这个REU网站在全国范围内招募有才华的本科生，特别是那些在本国机构研究机会有限的本科生。他们被带到SDSU的校园进行为期8周的暑期学习，在那里他们与来自其他机构的本科生、访问教师、联合项目负责人和项目负责人混在一起。在这种环境中，他们被训练成为一名研究数学家。他们阅读背景论文，编写代码以形成猜想，证明定理，撰写论文，与同行合作，并在研讨会和会议上展示他们的结果。他们还了解了研究生院和整个职业生涯。这个REU网站每年夏天将培训12名本科生进行数学研究，从问题起源到提交论文的生产。在八周的时间里，学生们将每天与教师项目主管会面，提出猜想，证明定理，并将他们的结果写一份手稿（用LaTeX）。PI和Co-PI是非唯一分解、数值半群和各种相邻数学学科的专家。他们在与学生合著者发表论文方面有丰富的经验，并期望通过该项目在国际知名的同行评议数学期刊上发表此类论文。专家将加入团队（在第2年和第3年），以补充专业知识，协助选择问题和指导项目。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This REU site conducts a nationwide recruitment effort to target talented undergraduates, particularly those with limited opportunity for research at their home institutions. They are brought for 8 summer weeks to SDSU's campus, where they are intermixed with undergraduates from other institutions, visiting faculty, the co-PI, and the PI. In this environment, they are trained in the experience of being a research mathematician. They read background papers, write code to formulate conjectures, prove theorems, write papers, collaborate with peers, and present their results in seminars and at conferences. They also learn about graduate school and the career as a whole.This REU site will train twelve undergraduates per summer in mathematical research, from problem genesis to production of submitted papers. For eight weeks, students will meet daily with faculty project directors, produce conjectures, prove theorems, and write a manuscript (in LaTeX) with their results. The PI and Co-PI are experts in nonunique factorization, numerical semigroups, and various adjacent mathematical disciplines. They have substantial experience in publishing with student coauthors, and anticipate such publications in peer-reviewed mathematics journals of international reputation as an outcome of this program. Experts will join the team (in years 2 and 3) to supplement expertise and assist in choosing problems and in directing projects.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
