Mathematical Sciences: REU - Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Mathematics

小行星9531561 这个REU网站奖将提供十个本科数学专业，招募 在全国范围内，有一个研究课题和一个研究环境，这是接近一个 工作数学家是可能的，鉴于学生的背景。每个学生将 和一个教师一起工作。示例主题是：根系和外尔群， 经济学中的不确定性建模，平面连杆的拓扑结构，逻辑与图表， 计算机语音识别。学生们将与他们的教师私下会面 顾问每周两到三次。在这八周里，学生们将 经常向小组汇报工作进展。该计划最重要的一个方面是 是学生之间的互动。对有些人来说这将是他们的第一次 有机会结识其他学生可比的数学兴趣和能力。 将以多种方式鼓励这种互动。学生们将生活在 在同一个宿舍里，在同一个食堂吃饭。会有一个房间在 数学系，学生可以聚集在一起工作。上周， 学生们将就他们所做的工作发表演讲。他们还将编写 报告他们的工作。这些将被收集到一个单一的绑定卷。

9531561 Maki This REU site award will provide ten undergraduate mathematics majors, recruited nationwide, with a research topic and a research environment which is as close to that of a working mathematician as is possible, given the student s background. Each student will work with a single faculty member. Sample topics are: Root Systems and Weyl Groups, Modeling Uncertainty in Economics, Topology of Planar Linkages, Logic with Diagrams, and Speech Recognition by Computers. The students will meet privately with their faculty advisors two to three times a week. Throughout the eight weeks the students will give frequent progress reports to the group. One of the most important aspects of the program is the interaction among the students themselves. For some this will be their first opportunity to get to know other students of comparable mathematical interest and ability. This interaction will be encouraged in a number of ways. The students will be living together in a single dormitory and eating in the same cafeteria. There will be a room in the Mathematics Department in which students can gather to work. During the last week the students will give lectures on the work they have done. They will also prepare written reports on their work. These will be collected into a single bound volume.
