Research Experiences in the Mathematical Sciences for Undergraduate Faculty (REMS-UF)

在数学科学的本科教师（REMS-UF）研讨会的研究经验将提供本科院校和大学的教师具有有限的研究活动的机会，有一个研究经验，将导致与本科生的研究项目。 参与者将调查适合他们自己机构的本科项目的开放问题。 四位有与本科生一起做研究经验的研究数学家将领导研讨会，并提出图论，数论，代数和线性代数方面的问题。讲习班开始将先进行讲座，并提供关于所要调查的问题的背景资料。 参与者将在小组中解决问题，并向整个小组展示他们的结果。 数值实验和计算调查是至关重要的大部分研究与本科生。将提供关于免费开放源码数学软件Sage的使用和应用的培训课程。 研讨会的主要目标是参与者参与数学问题，他们可以与学生一起工作;这不一定会导致可持续的研究。第二个目标是在项目负责人和参与者之间建立合作，这将导致一些参与者通过参与研究小组积极参与可持续研究。 研讨会将于2009年7月20日至24日在加州帕洛阿尔托的美国数学研究所举行。 与会者将获得全额旅费、住宿费和每日津贴。

The Research Experiences in the Mathematical Sciences for the Undergraduate Faculty (REMS-UF) Workshop will provide faculty members of undergraduate institutions and universities having limited research activity the opportunity to have a research experience that will lead to research projects with undergraduates. Participants will investigate open problems that are suitable for undergraduate projects at their own institutions. Four research mathematicians who have experience doing research with undergraduate students will lead the workshop and present problems in graph theory, number theory, algebra, and linear algebra. The workshop will begin with lectures and background information on the problems to be investigated. The participants will work in teams on the problems and present their results to the entire group. Numerical experiments and computational investigations are crucial to much of the research done with undergraduates. Training sessions will be provided on the use and applications of the free open-source mathematics software Sage. The primary goal of the workshop is the engagement of participants in mathematical problems that they can work on with their students; this is not necessarily expected to lead to publishable research. A secondary goal is to forge collaborations among the project leaders and participants that will lead to active involvement of some participants in publishable research through participation in a research group. The workshop will be held at the American Institute of Mathematics in Palo Alto, CA on July 20-24, 2009. Participants will receive full funding for travel, accommodations, and a per diem.
