Mathematical Sciences: REU: Undergraduate Research Program in Discrete Mathematics

REU网站奖支持六名本科生研究人员在首席研究员的监督下工作。它延续了自1977年以来每年夏季研究项目的传统（除了一次），由首席研究员经常招募以前的学生来协助该项目。工作的质量非常高，在44名学生中，32人已经进入研究生院，12人已经获得博士学位。在这个项目中写的32篇论文已经发表，9篇正在出版，还有十几篇正在审查和准备中。该计划的主要研究主题是离散数学，反映在图论、组合学、有限群和着色问题中的问题。问题往往是建立在以前的项目中所做的工作上，通过与同事的通信，以及通过搜索期刊。每个学生都有一个单独的问题，在课程结束时需要写一份报告。鼓励学生在各种专业会议上展示他们的作品。

This REU site award supports six undergraduate researchers working under the supervision of the principal investigator. It continues a tradition of summer research programs conducted every year (except one) since 1977 by the principal investigator who often recruits former students to assist with the program. The quality of the work is exceptionally high, Of the forty-four students who have been through the programs, thirty-two have gone to graduate school, and twelve have already earned the Ph.D. Thirty-two papers written in the program have already been published, nine are in press and a dozen or more are under review and in preparation. The principal research theme of the program is discrete mathematics as reflected in problems from graph theory, combinatorics, finite groups and coloring problems. Problems often build on work done in previous programs, through correspondence with colleagues, and by searching journals. Each student is given an individual problem and a write-up at the end of the program is required. Students are encouraged to present their work at various professional meetings.
