REU Site in Mathematics at The University of Tennessee

田纳西大学REU网站旨在通过一个相当结构化的九周暑期课程，将12名本科生推向独立研究。该计划将专门针对数学研究的三个主要组成部分：广泛和先进的数学学习，专业研究论文的阅读和解决问题。该计划从三个不同领域的迷你课程开始，扩展所有学生的一般知识，同时为三个具体的研究项目提供背景。每个项目将由3-5名学生组成的小组进行调查。由2-3名研究人员和一名研究生组成的团队将为学生提供建议和指导。在课程中途，一个“进步周”将把所有的学生聚集在一起进行小组讨论和进一步的讲座，反映每个小组所取得的进展（和面临的问题）。研究期以总结和写作期结束，随后是个人演讲。每个参与者将获得津贴，住房，在大多数情况下，旅行资金。 将从各种机构征集参与者，但将特别寻求无法享受大型研究型大学福利的合格学生-以及女性和少数族裔参与者。

The University of Tennessee REU site aims to move twelve undergraduate students towards independent research through a fairly structured nine-week summer program. The program will specifically target the three primary components of mathematics research: broad and advanced mathematics learning, reading of specialized research papers, and problem solving. The program begins with mini-courses in three diverse areas that expand the general knowledge of all students while providing background for three specific research projects. Each project will be investigated by a group of 3-5 students. Teams of 2-3 researchers and one graduate student will advise and mentor students. Midway through the program a "progress week"will bring all students together for panel discussions and further lectures reflecting progress made (and problems faced) by each group. The research period ends with a wrap-up and writing period, followed byindividual presentations.Each participant in the program will recieve a stipend, housing, and in most cases, travel funding. Participants will be solicited from a variety of institutions, but qualified students who do not have access to the benefits of a large research university will be especially sought--as will female and minority participants.
