REU: Proposal to Establish a REU Site in Mathematics

该奖项授予4名参加加州理工学院本科生研究体验网站的学生。该网站将通过加州理工大学正在进行的名为SURF计划的本科生研究计划进行管理。这4名学生将是额外的数学系学生，他们将与威尔逊博士和他的同事一起工作。研究的主要焦点将是有限代数和组合学。SURF计划为这些本科生制定了一个完善的计划，并已成功运作多年。将更多的数学学生加入到这个项目中，将使这些学生有机会参加符合本科生研究经验计划精神的研究活动。

This award is for 4 students to participate in an Research Experiences For Undergraduates site at the California Institute of Technology. The site will be managed through the ongoing undergraduate research program at Cal Tech called the SURF program. The 4 students will be additional mathematics students who will work with Dr. Wilson and his colleagues. The main focus of the research will be in finite algebra and combinatorics. The SURF program has a well established program for these undergraduate students and has been operating successfully for years. Adding some more mathematics students to this program will give these students access to a research activity well within the spirit of the Research Experiences For Undergraduates program.
