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项目，该项目将在连续三个夏季每年接待9名本科生，为期10周。该计划将向所有人开放，并招收“高潜力/低机会”的学生，例如来自传统上在数学领域代表性不足的群体，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。其目的是培养追求研究生教育和数学科学事业的兴趣。每年夏天，该项目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。在整个夏季的课程中，每个小组将从学习数学或统计学的新主题，到发展问题和猜想，再到作为真实研究经验的一部分来证明结果。学生将通过跟随每个研究小组的进展，并通过倾听和与每周访问该计划的访问者互动，接触到不同的数学领域。作为该计划的一部分，学生们将参观研究生院，了解研究生在不同类型机构的经历。该项目将为学生提供专业发展和拓展活动。参与者将制作原创研究，这些研究将在同行评议的期刊文章中传播，并在国家、区域和地方专业会议上制作海报和演讲。进一步的信息可以在https://www.jmu.edu/mathstat/reu/index.shtml.This上找到，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

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.
