Mathematical Sciences: REU: Computational Theory and Graph Theory

这个REU站点项目将支持6名在德克萨斯基督教大学从事教职指导研究的本科生。该活动将持续八周。学生将集中学习计算群论和图论中的研究问题，重点是研究由滑块谜题引起的群。研究将需要一些计算机和抽象代数软件GAP的知识，学生将在项目中以独立的方向获得这些知识。学生将被要求提交详细说明他们工作结果的论文。将鼓励他们在学年期间在数学会议上发表演讲；此外，还将准备优秀的论文，以便在适当的期刊上发表。

This REU site project will support six undergraduate students engaged in faculty directed research at Texas Christian University. The activity will run for an eight-week period. Students will focus their studies on research problems in computational group theory and graph theory, centering on the study of groups arising from sliding block puzzles. The research will require some knowledge of computers and of the abstract algebra software GAP, which the students will acquire during the project in a self-contained orientation. Students will be expected to produce papers detailed the results of their work. They will be encouraged to give presentations at mathematics meeting during the academic year; in addition, papers of exceptional merit will be prepared for publication in appropriate journals.
