REU Site: Research Experiences in Mathematics for Undergraduates and Teachers

在加州州立大学的REU/RET数学方面，CHICO的目标是对数学或统计学有浓厚兴趣的中学教师和完成大三学业的本科生。在每年暑假的六周时间里，包括三名教师在内的12名参与者将分成三个研究小组，研究从动态几何、纽结理论、数学教育、数学建模和数论中挑选出来的问题。根据不同的领域，研究项目可能适合数学以外的科学学科的学生。研究经验旨在让参与者欣赏数学及其应用的广度和深度，同时为本科生提供机会提高他们的沟通技能，并为在职教师提供一种经验，加深他们对数学内容的理解，并在课堂上启发教学创新。通过解决数学中的开放问题，参与者将体验到探索、发现、分析、证明和系统化的兴奋，这些都是数学家世界的一部分。如欲了解更多关于数学研究的信息，请联系谢尔盖·福明博士，电话：(5308985274)，电子邮件：sfomin@cuchico.edu，或访问我们的网站：http://www.csuchico.edu/math/mattman/REUT.htmlThis REU/RET项目由MPS多学科活动办公室和数学科学部共同支持。

The REU/RET in mathematics at California State University, Chico targets secondary teachers with a strong interest in mathematics or statistics and undergraduates students who have completed their junior year. For six weeks of each summer, twelve participants, including three teachers, will work in three research teams on problems selected from Dynamic Geometry, Knot Theory, Mathematics Education, Mathematical Modeling, and Number Theory. Depending on the field, projects may be appropriate for students from scientific disciplines other than mathematics.The research experience is intended to give participants an appreciation for the breadth and depth of mathematics and its applications, while providing undergraduates an opportunity to improve their communication skills and providing in-service teachers an experience which will deepen their understanding of mathematical content and inspire pedagogical innovation in their classrooms. By working on open problems in mathematics, participants will experience the excitement of exploration, discovery, analysis, proof, and systematization that are part of the mathematician's world. While much of mathematics is accessible only after years of study, the field is rich enough to allow for a fuller mathematical experience at the undergraduate level.For further information regarding the REUT in Mathematics contact Dr. Sergei Fomin by phone at (530) 898-5274 and by e-mail at SFomin@csuchico.edu, or visit our website: http://www.csuchico.edu/math/mattman/REUT.htmlThis REU/RET project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).
