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.

该奖项全部或部分根据2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。该项目将支持在得克萨斯大学泰勒分校的数学本科生（REU）网站的研究经验。为期8周的课程将于2022年，2023年和2024年夏季举行。每年夏天，10名学生将在三人一组的工作与一个教师导师带领每组。该计划的重点是建立学生参与者的信心，并准备他们继续追求数学职业。REU将通过从代表性不足的群体中招收学生而产生更大的影响。特别是，西班牙裔学生，妇女和第一代大学生将被招募。REU网站在德克萨斯大学泰勒的导师将提供研究问题，本科生可以访问，但有趣的工作数学家。目标是为参与者提供机会，进行原创研究，并在专业期刊上发表。研究项目是在抽象代数，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了早期基于证明的课程的学生。在为期八周的课程结束后，REU的学生将以专业的格式撰写他们的成果，并准备一份适合在数学家会议上展示的最后演讲和海报。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
