REU Site: Undergraduate Mathematical Science Research at James Madison University

该奖项支持詹姆斯麦迪逊大学的REU计划，该计划将在连续三个夏季的每个夏季举办九名本科生为期十周的课程。该计划将向所有人开放，并招募“高潜力/低机会”的学生，例如来自传统上数学代表性不足的群体，来自不太可能有资源支持研究活动的机构，或者以前没有参加过本科研究的学生。目的是培养对数学科学研究生教育和职业的兴趣。每年夏天，该计划将支持三个研究小组，每个小组由三名学生和一名教师导师组成。在整个夏季，每个小组将从学习数学或统计学的新主题，到开发问题和图表，再到证明结果作为真实研究体验的一部分。学生将接触到数学的不同领域，通过以下每个研究小组的进展，并听取，并与每周访问该计划的人互动。作为该计划的一部分，学生将访问研究生院，了解研究生在不同类型的机构的经验。该计划将为学生提供专业发展和推广活动。参与者将产生原始研究，将在同行评审的期刊文章中传播，以及在国家，区域和地方专业会议上的海报和演讲。更多信息可以在www.example.com上找到https://www.jmu.edu/mathstat/reu/index.shtml.This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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This award supports an REU program at James Madison University that will host nine undergraduates for ten-week terms during each of three consecutive summers. The program will be open to all and recruit "high potential/low opportunity" students such as those from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in mathematics, from institutions less likely to have resources available to support research activity, or who have not participated in undergraduate research before. The aim is to develop an interest in pursuing graduate education and careers in the mathematical sciences.Each summer the program will support three research groups, each consisting of three students together with a faculty mentor. Over the course of the summer, each group will progress from learning new topics in mathematics or statistics, to developing questions and conjectures, to proving results as part of an authentic research experience. Students will be exposed to different areas of mathematics by following the progress of each research group and by listening to, and interacting with, weekly visitors to the program. As part of the program, students will visit graduate schools to learn about the experiences of graduate students in different types of institutions. The program will provides professional development and outreach activities for students. Participants will produce original research that that will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journal articles, as well as posters and talks at national, regional, and local professional meetings.
