REU Site: Willamette Valley Consortium for Undergraduate Mathematics Research

威拉米特山谷REU-RET数学研究联盟联合了四个机构：威拉米特大学、刘易斯和克拉克学院、林菲尔德学院和波特兰大学，为本科生和教师提供为期八周的暑期数学研究体验。四个合作机构中的每一个都将接待一个由四名学生、一名教师和两名教师导师组成的研究团队。每个研究小组将专注于教师对数论、图论、组合博弈论、概率和统计学、几何学、计算机科学或应用分析的研究兴趣的一个项目。所有四个研究小组将在周四聚会，就他们的项目、受邀演讲者的演讲和社会活动进行非正式和正式的演讲。该项目的目标是(1)让数学学生和教师参与数学研究，(2)建立一个数学家、学生和教师网络，以增进对数学研究的理解和机会，(3)增加参与者对数学领域的知识，特别是通过提高对数学职业机会的认识。我们邀请来自太平洋西北地区的美国学生和教师提出申请。我们特别鼓励来自传统上在数学领域代表性不足的群体的成员的申请，例如妇女和少数群体。有关更多信息，请参阅我们的website:www.willamette.edu/~ijohnson/REU-RET/index.htmlThis REU/RET项目，该项目由MPS多学科活动办公室和数学科学部联合支持。

The Willamette Valley REU-RET Consortium for Mathematics Research unites four institutions: Willamette University, Lewis & Clark College, Linfield College, and the University of Portland, for an eight week summer mathematics research experience for undergraduates and teachers.Each of the four partner institutions will host a research Team consisting of four students, one teacher, and two faculty mentors. Each research Team will focus on a project from faculty research interests in number theory, graph theory, combinatorial game theory, probability and statistics, geometry, computer science, or applied analysis. All four research Teams will gather on Thursdays for informal and formal talks about their projects, presentations by invited speakers, and social activities.The objectives of the program are to(1) engage mathematics students and teachers in mathematical research,(2) build a network of mathematicians, students and teachers to advance the understanding of and opportunity for mathematical research, and(3) increase the participants' knowledge of the field of mathematics, in particular by raising awareness about career opportunities in mathematics.We invite applications from U.S. students and teachers from the Pacific Northwest. We especially encourage applications from members of groups traditionally under-represented in mathematics, such as women and minority groups.For more information please see our website:www.willamette.edu/~ijohnson/REU-RET/index.htmlThis REU/RET project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).
