Mathematical Sciences: REU: Undergraduate Research in Mathematics

拉斐特学院的REU网站奖汇集了六个 学生研究人员在五个教师监督下工作 可能的数学领域。 这项工作涉及调查 应用运筹学的问题导致交通 流动应用，边界穿越中的强大数定律 数字，概率论的一个领域，以及多项式不变量 的图表。此外，在短期内的工作， 模m连分数在数论中的应用 由网络可靠性问题引起的k-终端网络 理论将被考虑。 外部发言者将穿插与教师和 在为期两个月的活动中，学生 将三人一组工作，但每个人将负责 进行独立研究。 最后对作品的评论 该项目是必需的。

This REU site award at Lafayette College brings together six student researchers for work under faculty supervision in five possible areas of mathematics. The work involves investigation of problems from applied operations research leading to traffic flow applications, boundary crossings in the strong law of large numbers, an area of probability theory, and polynomial invariants of graphs. In addition, work on short periods of the convergents of continued fraction moduluo m in number theory and the study of k-terminal networks arising from reliability problems in network theory will be considered. Outside speakers will be interspersed with faculty and student presentations during the two-month activity. The students will work in groups of three, but each will be responsible for producing independent research. Write-ups of the work at the end of the project is required.
