REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Algebra and Discrete Mathematics at Auburn University

该奖项将于2024-2026年每年夏季资助8名本科生在奥本大学学习8周。该项目是美国国家科学基金会资助的REU项目的延续，该项目由奥本大学的提案人于1999年、2000年、2005-2008年和2010-2023年进行。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）方面的研究问题。该计划将对追求数学科学研究生培训的本科生产生积极影响，并支持美国国家科学基金会发展多样化科学劳动力的愿景。该项目由本科生数学科学研究经验项目（DMS REU Sites）和促进竞争性研究的既定项目（EPSCoR）共同资助。活动模式将是：前两周集中介绍问题领域，第三周由每位参与者进行强制性的“破冰”陈述，随后在其余五周进行“研究机构”阶段，最后由每位参与者进行最后陈述。在研究所阶段，主办部门的教师和研究生、访问数学家以及参与者自己将经常进行演讲，但该阶段的主要特征将是参与者与教师、研究生和他们自己以各种形式进行的研究。该计划的目的是为参与者提供真实的数学研究体验，目的是激发学生进入研究生院并从事学术研究事业。与过去几年一样，研究结果将发表在书籍或参考期刊上，并在研究会议上发表。有关该项目的更多信息可在https://cws.auburn.edu/apspi/pm/mathreu.This上找到，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力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 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.
