The Georgia Institute of Technology Mathematics REU Program provides mathematical research experience opportunities for undergraduate students. An important goal of the program is to motivate talented undergraduates to pursue graduate study and STEM careers, and to provide them the tools, the confidence, and the support network to succeed. In addition to providing high quality, inclusive research experiences for cohorts of undergraduates from diverse backgrounds, the program also provides professional development training on topics ranging from communication skills to navigating the job markets in industry and academia. The program emphasizes the recruitment of students from groups that are historically under-represented in mathematics, as well as students from institutions that have limited research activities, such as primarily undergraduate institutions. Throughout the eight week annual summer program, groups of undergraduate students work intensely with faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students on mathematical research projects at the cutting edge. They also participate in weekly team building and professional development activities, including seminars and training sessions. The program culminates in a poster session for all participants, and participants leave the program prepared to present their work at conferences nationwide.The Georgia Institute of Technology Mathematics REU Program recruits a diverse set of undergraduate students to participate in projects on the cutting edge of mathematical research. Research topics include curves on surfaces, knots in 3-manifolds, 4-manifolds, geometric surfaces, convex geometry, approximations of polynomials, statistics of Latin squares, random matrices, crowdsourced data, dynamical modeling, and neural networks. Students work in groups with mentors and also participate in program-wide activities. Weekly activities include a colloquium-style seminar where students learn about other projects happening within the program and a professional development seminar where students gain non-mathematical skills essential for careers in STEM. Professional development topics include: applying to graduate school, life in graduate school, imposter syndrome, creating and presenting posters, and creating and delivering oral research presentations. Near the end of the program, students participate in a poster session, and projects typically culminate in a written report, with some of these submitted for publication. Following the conclusion of the program, students are encouraged to present their work at national conferences such as MathFest, the Gulf Coast Undergraduate Research Symposium, the Young Mathematicians Conference, and the Joint Mathematical Meetings.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.

格鲁吉亚理工学院数学REU计划为本科生提供数学研究经验的机会。该计划的一个重要目标是激励有才华的本科生追求研究生学习和STEM职业，并为他们提供成功的工具，信心和支持网络。除了为来自不同背景的本科生群体提供高质量，包容性的研究经验外，该计划还提供专业发展培训，主题从沟通技巧到在行业和学术界的就业市场中导航。该计划强调从历史上数学代表性不足的群体中招募学生，以及从研究活动有限的机构（如主要是本科院校）中招募学生。在整个为期八周的年度暑期课程中，本科生群体与教师，博士后研究人员和研究生在前沿数学研究项目上密切合作。他们还参加每周的团队建设和专业发展活动，包括研讨会和培训课程。该计划的高潮是所有参与者的海报会议，参与者离开计划准备在全国范围内的会议上展示他们的工作。格鲁吉亚理工学院数学REU计划招募了一批多样化的本科生参加数学研究前沿的项目。研究主题包括曲面上的曲线，3-流形中的结，4-流形，几何曲面，凸几何，多项式近似，拉丁方统计，随机矩阵，众包数据，动态建模和神经网络。学生与导师一起小组工作，并参加整个项目的活动。每周的活动包括一个座谈会式的研讨会，让学生了解该计划内发生的其他项目，以及一个专业发展研讨会，让学生获得STEM职业所必需的非数学技能。专业发展主题包括：申请研究生院，研究生院生活，冒名顶替者综合症，创作和展示海报，以及创作和提供口头研究报告。接近课程结束时，学生参加海报会议，项目通常以书面报告告终，其中一些提交出版。该计划结束后，鼓励学生在全国性会议，如数学节，墨西哥湾沿岸大学生研究研讨会，青年数学家会议和联合数学会议上介绍他们的工作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是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的支持。
