项目摘要

This NSF award will support 8 undergraduate students for 8 weeks at Auburn University in each of the summers 2020-2022 to conduct research in algebra and discrete mathematics. The program is a continuation of successful NSF funded REU programs conducted by the proposers at Auburn in 1999, 2000, 2005-2008, and 2010-2019. Almost all of our alumni who are no longer undergraduates went to graduate school, slightly more than half in mathematics and the others in mathematics education, computer science, statistics and statistical sciences, including mathematical branches of biology. This shows that our program has positive impact on undergraduates and various mathematical disciplines. Our goal of having half of the participants to be women, our effort in recruiting minority students, and our focus on the American Southeast support NSF's vision of developing a diverse workforce. In 2013-2017, a number of our recent and not-so-recent alumni participated in the Masamu Program, NSF Award No. 1343651, by going to Southern Africa for the annual Southern Africa Mathematical Sciences Association conference, workshop, and Masamu Advanced Study Institute for the purpose of fostering US-Africa collaborative research with Sub-Saharan African mathematicians; this participation will continue. This project is jointly funded by the Workforce Program in the Mathematical Sciences and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).Our REU focuses on some of the current research problems in algebra (computational algebra, Groebner bases) and discrete mathematics (graph theory, graphs and hypergraphs, number theory, information and coding theory). The pattern of activities will be as before: intensive introduction to problems and problem areas in the first 2-3 weeks, capped by an obligatory "ice-breaker" presentation by each participant in the 3rd week, followed by a "research institute" phase in the remaining 5 weeks, capped by a final presentation by each participant. During the research institute phase there will be frequent talks given by faculty and graduate students of the department, visiting mathematicians, and the participants themselves, but the main feature of that phase will be research carried on by the participants, in various combinations with faculty, graduate students, and by themselves. The purpose of the program is to give the participants an authentic experience of mathematical research with the goal of exciting students about going to graduate school and pursuing academic research careers. As in past years, research results will be published in books or refereed journals and presented at research conferences.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.

这个NSF奖将支持8名本科生在奥本大学在2020年至2022年的每个夏天8周进行代数和离散数学的研究。该计划是成功的NSF资助REU计划的延续，该计划由提议者于1999年，2000年，2005-2008年和2010-2019年在奥本进行。几乎所有不再是本科生的校友都去了研究生院，略多于一半的人在数学和数学教育，计算机科学，统计学和统计科学，包括生物学的数学分支。这表明我们的计划对本科生和各种数学学科产生了积极的影响。我们的目标是让一半的参与者是女性，我们努力招募少数民族学生，我们对美国东南部的关注支持NSF发展多元化劳动力的愿景。在2013-2017年，我们的一些最近和不那么最近的校友参加了Masamu计划，NSF奖号1343651，通过前往南部非洲参加年度南部非洲数学科学协会会议，研讨会和Masamu高级研究所，以促进美国非洲与撒哈拉以南非洲数学家的合作研究;这种参与将继续下去。该项目由数学科学的劳动力计划和刺激竞争力研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。我们的REU专注于代数（计算代数，Groebner基地）和离散数学（图论，图和超图，数论，信息和编码理论）的一些当前研究问题。活动的模式将与以前一样：在前2-3周集中介绍问题和问题领域，在第3周由每位参与者进行强制性的“破冰”演讲，然后在剩余的5周内进行“研究机构”阶段，最后由每位参与者进行最后演讲。在研究所阶段，将有教师和研究生的部门，来访的数学家，和参与者自己频繁的会谈，但该阶段的主要特点将是研究进行的参与者，在各种组合与教师，研究生，并由自己。该计划的目的是让参与者有一个真实的数学研究经验，目的是让学生对去研究生院和追求学术研究事业感到兴奋。与往年一样，研究成果将发表在书籍或期刊上，并在研究会议上发表。该奖项反映了NSF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。
