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.

佐治亚理工学院数学 REU 项目为本科生提供数学研究体验的机会。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，该项目还提供从沟通技巧到驾驭工业界和学术界就业市场等主题的专业发展培训。该计划强调从历史上在数学领域代表性不足的群体中招收学生，以及从研究活动有限的机构（例如主要是本科机构）招收学生。在为期八周的年度暑期课程中，本科生小组与教师、博士后研究人员和研究生密切合作，开展前沿的数学研究项目。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。该项目的高潮是为所有参与者举行海报会议，参与者离开项目时准备好在全国范围的会议上展示他们的工作。佐治亚理工学院数学 REU 项目招募各种各样的本科生来参与数学研究的前沿项目。研究主题包括曲面上的曲线、3 流形、4 流形中的结、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合作，并参与项目范围内的活动。每周的活动包括座谈会式研讨会，学生可以在其中了解该项目中发生的其他项目；以及专业发展研讨会，学生可以在其中获得 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、冒名顶替综合症、创作和展示海报、以及创作和进行口头研究演示。在课程接近尾声时，学生会参加海报会议，项目通常会形成书面报告，其中一些会提交出版。该计划结束后，鼓励学生在数学节、墨西哥湾沿岸本科生研究研讨会、青年数学家会议和联合数学会议等全国性会议上展示他们的工作。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。
