REU Site: Applied Mathematics in Real World Problems

本科生研究体验(REU)网站将在8周的时间里接待10名学生，让他们参与合作小组研究项目，重点是应用数学中的不同领域。通过研究会议，学生将发展高级技能，例如在研究问题中利用内容知识，以及识别理论、方法和模型之间的联系。该计划旨在让学生掌握宝贵的教育和研究技能，增强他们为研究生课程和STEM职业生涯做好准备。一个关键目标是通过从代表性不足的群体和退伍军人中招募一些参与者来促进STEM的多样性。此外，REU网站将为教师和研究生提供指导培训，以有效地支持来自不同背景的学生，使他们能够在数学方面出类拔萃。这个REU项目将为本科生提供在应用数学的广泛领域，包括金融数学，生物数学，数学流体动力学和地球物理，充满活力和激励的合作研究经验。学生们将通过一个关于使用MatLab进行计算的密集研讨会为研究做好准备。此外，学生将参加一个关于使用LaTeX进行数学写作的研讨会，并接受关于如何进行有效演示、准备海报和撰写论文的指导。学生将有机会通过在数学和跨学科会议上发表论文以及在期刊上发表论文来传播他们的研究成果，这些期刊将是免费获取的。此外，REU网站将为学生提供申请数学研究生课程所需的培训和信心，激励他们在STEM领域追求职业生涯。有关REU计划的更多信息，请访问https://sites.google.com/view/fsu-math-reu.This奖项，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site will host ten students over an eight-week period, engaging them in collaborative group research projects focused on diverse areas within applied mathematics. Through research meetings, students will develop advanced skills such as leveraging content knowledge in research problems and recognizing connections between theory, methods, and models. The program aims to equip students with invaluable educational and research skills, enhancing their readiness for graduate programs and STEM careers. A key objective is to promote diversity in STEM by recruiting a number of participants from underrepresented groups and veterans. Additionally, the REU site will provide mentoring training for faculty and graduate students to effectively support students from diverse backgrounds, empowering them to excel in mathematics.This REU program will provide undergraduate students with vigorous and motivating collaborative research experience in broad areas in Applied Mathematics, including Financial Mathematics, Biomathematics, and Mathematical Fluid Dynamics and Geophysics. Students will be prepared for the research through an intensive workshop on computing with Matlab. Additionally, students will participate in a workshop on mathematical writing using LaTeX and receive instruction on delivering effective presentations, preparing posters, and writing papers. Students will have the opportunity to disseminate their research findings by presenting at mathematics and interdisciplinary conferences, as well as publishing papers in journals, which will be freely accessible. Moreover, the REU site will equip students with the necessary training and confidence to apply for graduate programs in Mathematics, inspiring them to pursue careers in STEM fields.
