This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). This project will support the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in mathematics at the University of Texas at Tyler. The 8-week program will take place in the summers of 2022, 2023, and 2024. Each summer, ten students will work in groups of three with one faculty mentor leading each group. The program focuses on building confidence of student participants and preparing them to go on to pursue careers in mathematics. The REU will have a greater effect by recruiting students from underrepresented groups. In particular, Hispanic students, women, and first-generation college students will be recruited.The mentors for the REU site at the University of Texas at Tyler will provide research questions that are accessible to undergraduates, yet interesting to working mathematicians. The goal is to provide participants the opportunity to conduct original research leading to publication in professional journals. The research projects are in the areas of abstract algebra, graph theory, and number theory. All topics will be accessible to students who have taken early proof-based courses in their major. By the end of the eight weeks, REU students will write their results in a professional format and prepare a final talk and a poster suitable for presentation at conferences for mathematicians.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.

该奖项全部或部分由《2021年美国救援计划法案》（公法117-2）资助。该项目将支持德克萨斯大学泰勒分校数学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。这个为期8周的项目将在2022年、2023年和2024年的夏天进行。每年夏天，10名学生将分成三人一组，每组由一名教师指导。该计划的重点是建立学生参与者的信心，并为他们继续追求数学事业做好准备。REU将通过从代表性不足的群体中招收学生来发挥更大的作用。特别是西班牙裔学生、女性和第一代大学生将被招募。位于德克萨斯大学泰勒分校的REU网站的导师将提供本科生可以访问的研究问题，同时也会引起数学家的兴趣。目标是为参与者提供在专业期刊上发表原创研究的机会。研究项目涉及抽象代数、图论和数论领域。所有的主题都将提供给那些在他们的专业中参加过早期证明课程的学生。在八周结束时，REU的学生将以专业的格式写出他们的结果，并准备一篇最后的演讲和一张适合在数学家会议上展示的海报。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。
