Nebraska REU in Applied Mathematics

内布拉斯加州REU是一个为期八周的暑期课程，为10名本科生，其中大部分将来自其他机构。内布拉斯加大学林肯分校数学与统计系博士。授予研究部门，是区域和国家公认的卓越教学和促进本科生研究。内布拉斯加州REU借鉴这些素质，培养一个环境，强调其学生之间的互动和学生和部门之间的学生发展他们的研究技能。除了研究，还有一个重点是发展书面和口头沟通能力的数学。内布拉斯加州REU为数学天才学生提供了在应用数学领域进行研究的机会，每个学生都有一个或两个应用数学家的指导。学生将在两到四个小组与他们的导师和第一或第二年的研究生在相同或密切相关的问题。在导师的帮助下，他们将以适合期刊出版的形式撰写他们的结果;并且，在大多数情况下，将他们的结果提交给期刊。所有小组将在REU的最后一周在会议上介绍他们的结果。社交活动计划在整个八周。除了2,600美元的津贴，校内食宿和学生娱乐中心是免费提供给参与者。该部门还将为学生提供高达400美元的相关费用，以在全国会议上展示他们的REU结果。

The Nebraska REU is an eight-week summer program for 10 undergraduate students, most of whom will be from other institutions. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a Ph.D. granting research department that is regionally and nationally recognized for excellence in teaching and promoting undergraduate research. The Nebraska REU draws on these qualities to cultivate an environment that emphasizes interaction among its students and among its students and the Department as the students develop their research skills. In addition to research, there is an emphasis on developing written and oral communication skills in mathematics. The Nebraska REU offers the opportunity for mathematically talented students to carry out research in areas of applied mathematics, each under the mentoring guidance of one or two applied mathematicians. Students will work in groups of two to four with their faculty mentors and a first or second year graduate student on either the same or closely related problems. With the help of their mentors, they will write up their results in a form suitable for journal publication; and, in most cases, will submit their results to a journal. All groups will present their results in a conference setting during the last week of the REU. Social activities are planned throughout the eight weeks. In addition to the $2,600 stipend, on-campus room, board, and the student recreation center are provided at no cost to the participant. The Department will also provide students up to $400 toward the cost associated to presenting their REU results at a national conference.
