项目摘要

The “Mathematics at VCU” Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site is an eight-week research experience for undergraduate students hosted by the Virginia Commonwealth University. The objectives of this REU Site are to promote early engagement of undergraduate students in research, to involve students in meritorious research programs, to prepare them for the challenges of increasingly complex and information-driven scientific analyses in mathematics, and to inspire them to pursue graduate education. We aim to increase the number and diversity of well-prepared U.S. students who successfully pursue careers in mathematics. Special priority will be given to recruiting applicants who are from institutions that serve underrepresented minorities, who are women, and who are students with limited research opportunities in their home institutions. Students at the early stages of their careers (prior to their sophomore or junior year) will be involved in substantial numbers. The REU will provide hands-on research opportunities in several disciplines, including graph theory, mathematical biology, fluid dynamics, analysis, and differential geometry. Projects will involve a computational component and simulations as well as theoretical analysis. Students will be trained on research skills including those used in literature review, understanding ethical issues, using computer software such as LaTeX and Matlab, and oral and written communication of research. We will also hold workshops on undergraduate research, implicit bias, and increasing involvement of women and minorities to facilitate professional development of faculty mentors. Students will work in groups and will stay in touch with their mentors even during the following academic year. The teams will be encouraged to submit manuscripts to professional journals and to present their work at conferences throughout the year.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.

“VCU的数学”本科生研究体验（REU）网站是由弗吉尼亚联邦大学主办的为期八周的本科生研究体验。这个REU网站的目标是促进本科生早期参与研究，让学生参与有价值的研究项目，让他们为日益复杂和信息驱动的数学科学分析的挑战做好准备，并激励他们继续接受研究生教育。我们的目标是增加有充分准备的美国学生的数量和多样性，他们成功地追求数学事业。将特别优先考虑招收来自代表性不足的少数民族院校、女性以及在本国院校研究机会有限的学生的申请者。在他们职业生涯的早期阶段（在他们大二或大三之前）的学生将参与大量的活动。REU将提供几个学科的实践研究机会，包括图论、数学生物学、流体动力学、分析和微分几何。项目将涉及计算组件和模拟以及理论分析。学生将接受研究技能方面的培训，包括文献综述、理解伦理问题、使用LaTeX和Matlab等计算机软件，以及口头和书面的研究交流。我们还将举办关于本科生研究、内隐偏见以及增加妇女和少数民族参与的研讨会，以促进教师导师的专业发展。学生们将分组学习，即使在下一个学年也将与导师保持联系。鼓励参赛队伍向专业期刊投稿，并在全年的会议上展示他们的作品。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。
