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暑期中的每一年接待九名本科生，为期十周。该计划将向所有人开放，并招收“高潜力/低机会”的学生，比如那些来自传统上在数学领域代表性不足的群体的学生，来自不太可能有资源支持研究活动的机构的学生，或者以前没有参与过本科生研究的学生。该项目的目的是培养学生对从事数学科学领域的研究生教育和职业生涯的兴趣。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。在整个夏天的过程中，每个小组都将从学习数学或统计学的新主题，到开发问题和猜测，再到作为真实研究体验的一部分来证明结果。学生们将通过跟踪每个研究小组的进展，通过听取每周访问该计划的人并与之互动，来接触到不同的数学领域。作为该项目的一部分，学生们将参观研究生院，了解不同类型机构研究生的经验。该计划将为学生提供职业发展和外展活动。参与者将提出原创研究，并在同行评议的期刊文章中传播，以及在国家、地区和地方专业会议上张贴海报和发表演讲。更多信息可以在https://www.jmu.edu/mathstat/reu/index.shtml.This上找到，该奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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。

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.
