REU Site: Fairfield REU in Mathematics and Computational Science

费尔菲尔德大学数学和计算科学本科生研究体验计划是一个为期八周的暑期计划，旨在吸引有才华的本科生从事标准大学课程以外的原创数学和计算研究。该项目每年夏天接待9到12名学生，提供校内住宿和学生津贴。这些学生通常来自本科生参加教师赞助的暑期学术活动的有限机会的机构，特别鼓励来自数学和计算专业代表性较低的群体的学生申请。在整个项目中，参与者以小组形式进行工作和学习，每个小组都与费尔菲尔德大学的一名教师导师就导师的专业领域中的研究课题进行密切磋商。该计划的主要目标是使参与者为以研究为基础的科学职业做好准备，并使每个学生不仅深刻理解个人科学研究的重要性，而且深入了解与该研究相适应的更广泛的合作背景。这是通过向学生提供研究队列的经验来实现的，这是设计该项目的动机。通过为学生和他们的教师导师创造一个合作的环境，该计划使实现其目标的手段成为可能，允许数学和计算学科的全面进步，并促进参与该计划的所有学术专业人员的持续学术和教学发展。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。

The Fairfield University Research Experience for Undergraduates Program in Mathematics and Computational Science is an eight-week summer program designed to engage talented undergraduates in original mathematics and computing research beyond the standard college curriculum. The program hosts between nine and twelve students per summer, providing on-campus housing and student stipends. The students will typically come from institutions with limited access to faculty-sponsored summer scholarly activity for undergraduates, and students from groups that are underrepresented in mathematics and computing are especially encouraged to apply. Throughout the program, the participants work and learn in small groups, each group in close consultation with an individual Fairfield University faculty mentor on research topics drawn from the mentor's field of expertise. The principal goal of the program is to prepare the participants for research-based scientific careers, and to engender in each student a deep understanding not only of the importance of individual scientific research, but also of the broader context of collaboration into which that research fits. This is achieved by providing the students with the experience of a research cohort, which is the motivation for the design of the program. By creating an environment of collaboration for the students and their faculty mentors, the program enables the means to achieve its goal, allows for the general advancement of the mathematics and computing disciplines, and fosters the continuing scholarly and pedagogical development of all the academic professionals involved in the program.This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
