REU Site at UT Tyler

这个项目的目的是每年夏天带来九名学生在德克萨斯大学泰勒为本科生一个难忘的研究经验。 学生将与三名教师密切合作，研究结理论，平铺理论和组合数学项目，这些项目都是精心挑选的，既方便又重要。 作为该计划的一部分，学生将写一篇研究论文，其中包含他们的结果，并给出口头报告，这将提高他们的沟通技巧。 研究经验将通过几次有组织的郊游和社交活动来补充，以鼓励同龄人建立联系和联系。三名教师导师都是第一代大学生，包括一名美国印第安人;他们都有一个本科研究的经验，塑造了他们的生活和职业生涯，并采取了国家认可的课程，本科教育学，以传递这一遗产。将向学生展示数学研究可以既有趣又有趣，希望这种经验为研究生学习铺平道路。 该提案旨在从代表性不足的群体中招收学生，特别是美洲印第安人、妇女和第一代大学生。

This project aims to bring nine students per summer to The University of Texas at Tyler for a memorable research experience for undergraduates. Students will work closely with three faculty members on projects in knot theory, tiling theory, and combinatorics on words that have been carefully chosen to be both accessible and significant. As part of the program, the students will write a research paper containing their results and give an oral presentation which will enhance their communication skills. The research experience will be complemented by several organized outings and social activities to encourage peer networking and bonding.The three faculty mentors are all first-generation college students, including one female American Indian; they all had an undergraduate research experience that shaped their lives and careers and have taken nationally recognized courses in undergraduate pedagogy to pass that legacy on. It is intended that this summer program will show students that mathematical research can be both fun and interesting, with the hope that this experience paves the way to graduate studies. This proposal aims to recruit students from underrepresented groups; in particular, American Indians, women, and first generation college students.
