This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).The Queens Experiences in Discrete Mathematics (QED) REU site, hosted at York College at the City University of New York in Jamaica, Queens, provides a student-centered and collaborative environment for nine undergraduates to conduct research in discrete mathematics over the course of the academic year. Recruitment efforts for this REU site target public and private universities in Queens and the greater New York City area, and emphasize outreach to underrepresented groups, including women, students of color, and students with disabilities. The program aims to increase retention and graduation rates and to diversify the population of graduate school applicants and researchers in the mathematical sciences.Participants in the QED REU will conduct research in the area of discrete mathematics, more specifically, on topics such as partition theory, algebraic combinatorics, semiring theory, automata theory, and formal language theory. The main goals are for participants to produce results of interest and relevance in their chosen subfield and to learn how to communicate the results of their research both orally and in writing. The REU site will also provide students with an introduction to mathematical programming as well as support and guidance regarding applications to graduate school.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。皇后区离散数学经验（QED）REU网站位于皇后区牙买加纽约市立大学约克学院，为九名本科生提供了一个以学生为中心的协作环境，在学年期间进行离散数学研究。该REU网站的招聘工作针对皇后区和大纽约市地区的公立和私立大学，并强调向代表性不足的群体，包括妇女，有色人种学生和残疾学生进行宣传。QED REU旨在提高学生的保留率和毕业率，并使研究生院申请者和数学科学研究人员的人数多样化。QED REU的参与者将在离散数学领域进行研究，更具体地说，研究主题包括划分理论，代数组合学，半环理论，自动机理论和形式语言理论。主要目标是让参与者在他们选择的子领域产生感兴趣和相关的结果，并学习如何口头和书面交流他们的研究结果。REU网站还将为学生提供数学编程的介绍以及有关申请研究生院的支持和指导。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
