This NSF award will support 8 undergraduate students for 8 weeks at Auburn University in each of the summers 2024-2026. The program is a continuation of NSF funded REU programs conducted by the proposers at Auburn in 1999, 2000, 2005-2008, and 2010-2023. The REU will focus on research problems in algebra (computational algebra, Groebner bases) and discrete mathematics (graph theory, graphs and hypergraphs, information and coding theory, and number theory). The program will have a positive impact on undergraduates pursuing graduate training in the mathematical sciences and supports NSF's vision of developing a diverse scientific workforce. This project is jointly funded by the Mathematical Sciences Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites Program (DMS REU Sites) and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).The pattern of activities will be: intensive introduction to problem areas in the first two weeks, capped by an obligatory "ice-breaker" presentation by each participant in the third week, followed by a "research institute" phase in the remaining five weeks, capped by a final presentation by each participant. During the research institute phase, there will be frequent talks given by faculty and graduate students of the host department, visiting mathematicians, and the participants themselves, but the main feature of that phase will be the research carried on by the participants, in various combinations with faculty, graduate students, and by themselves. The purpose of the program is to give the participants an authentic experience of mathematical research with the goal of exciting students about going to graduate school and pursuing academic research careers. As in past years, research results will be published in books or refereed journals and presented at research conferences. More information on the program can be found at https://cws.auburn.edu/apspi/pm/mathreu.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.

这项NSF奖项将在2024-2026年的每个暑假为奥本大学的8名本科生提供8周的资助。该计划是NSF资助的REU计划的延续，该计划由提议者在1999年、2000年、2005-2008年和2010-2023年在奥本大学实施。REU将专注于代数(计算代数、Groebner基)和离散数学(图论、图和超图、信息和编码理论以及数论)中的研究问题。该计划将对正在进行数学科学研究生培训的本科生产生积极影响，并支持NSF发展多元化科学劳动力的愿景。该项目由本科生数学科学研究体验计划(DMS REU Sites)和已建立的促进竞争性研究计划(EPSCoR)共同资助。活动模式为：在前两周对问题领域进行密集介绍，在第三周每个参与者必须做一次“破冰”报告，然后在剩下的五周里进行“研究机构”阶段，每个参与者最后一次报告。在研究所阶段，将经常有主办系的教职员工和研究生、访问数学家和参与者本人进行演讲，但该阶段的主要特点是参与者与教职员工、研究生和他们自己进行的各种组合的研究。该计划的目的是为参与者提供真实的数学研究体验，目标是激发学生进入研究生院并追求学术研究事业的热情。与过去几年一样，研究成果将在书籍或参考期刊上发表，并在研究会议上发表。有关该计划的更多信息可在https://cws.auburn.edu/apspi/pm/mathreu.This网站上找到，该奖项反映了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。
