Claremont Colleges Mathematics REU Site

克莱蒙特的五所本科学院：克莱蒙特麦肯纳学院、哈维马德学院、皮策学院、波莫纳学院和斯克里普斯学院，将于2009年、2010年和2011年夏季联合举办本科生研究体验活动。克莱蒙特学院有很强的传统，让本科生参与研究，此外，在拨款期间，我们还将积极协调克莱蒙特研究生大学的暑期研究项目。REU项目的目标是让数学专业的本科生体验工作数学家的智力生活，特别强调个人的、集中的研究，以及接触数学社区和其他学术活动。每年夏天，10名学生将与克莱蒙特大学的三名教师密切合作，为期八周。学生将在三人或三人以上的小组中进行数学各个领域的原创研究项目。除了与他们的导师和研究小组成员进行紧张的工作外，学生们还将参加其他数学和社会活动。这些活动将提供与其他克莱蒙特教师和其他非reu克莱蒙特学生参与夏季数学研究互动的机会。参与者将在整个夏季参加研讨会，学习进行数学研究所需的技能（例如，使用TeX和数学软件，使用书目数据库，口头报告，申请和准备研究生院等）。我们特别感兴趣的是招收那些在数学方面没有代表性的学生，对他们来说，这种经历可能是选择数学职业的决定性因素。将作出特别努力，包括妇女、代表性不足的少数民族、残疾人和来自研究机会有限的机构的学生。

The five undergraduate Claremont Colleges: Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, Pomona, and Scripps Colleges, will jointly sponsor a Research Experience for Undergraduate Site each summer 2009, 2010, 2011. The Claremont Colleges have a strong tradition of engaging undergraduates in research, and in addition, during the grant we will also be actively coordinating with a summer research program at the Claremont Graduate University. The objective of the REU project is to give undergraduate mathematics majors experience in the intellectual life of a working mathematician, with particular emphasis on individual, concentrated research as well as exposure to the math community and additional scholarly activities. During each summer, ten students will work closely with three Claremont faculty for a period of eight weeks. Students will work in teams of three or more on original research projects in various areas of mathematics. In addition to the intense work with their faculty supervisor and with members of their research group, students will participate in other mathematical and social activities. These activities will provide opportunities to interact with additional Claremont faculty and other, non-REU, Claremont students involved in summer mathematics research. Participants will attend workshops throughout the summer to learn skills needed to conduct mathematical research (e.g., using TeX and mathematical software, using bibliographic databases, giving oral presentations, applying to and preparing for graduate school, etc.). We are especially interested in recruiting students who are not typically represented in mathematics and for whom this experience could be the deciding factor in choosing a career in mathematics. Special efforts will be made to include women, underrepresented minorities, person with disabilities, and students coming from institutions where research opportunities are limited.
