REU Site: New York City Discrete Mathematics REU

每年夏天，这个在巴鲁克学院，纽约市立大学的数学REU计划将提供机会，为来自全国各地的学生群体的多样化，以获得动手接触数学研究和指导。REU的一个主要目标是促进发展多元化和包容性的未来劳动力。每年夏天，至少一半的参与者将是妇女。该计划还将优先考虑那些可能没有机会探索其数学潜力的学生。在教师导师的指导下，根据他们的个人背景，参与者从事各种复杂的数学研究项目，调查开放的数学问题，并磨练他们的写作和演讲技巧。导师旨在与学员建立长期关系，支持他们继续他们的职业生涯。该计划的研究项目研究组合学，离散概率和计算机科学的数学方面的开放问题。这些项目包括离散几何，组合拓扑学，粒子系统的概率方法，理论计算机科学的组合方面，添加剂组合学和图论。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Each summer, this REU program in mathematics at Baruch College, CUNY will provide the opportunity for a diverse group of students from across the country to gain hands-on exposure to mathematical research and mentorship. One main goal of the REU is to contribute to the development of a diverse and inclusive future workforce. Each summer, at least half of participants will be women. The program will also prioritize students who might otherwise have no opportunity to explore their mathematical potential. Under the guidance of faculty mentors, according to their individual backgrounds, participants work on a wide range of complex mathematical research projects, investigate open mathematical problems, and hone their writing and presentation skills. The mentors aim to foster long-term relationships with their mentees, supporting them as they continue with their careers.The research projects of the program study open questions in combinatorics, discrete probability, and mathematical aspects of computer science. These include projects in discrete geometry, combinatorial topology, probabilistic approaches to particle systems, combinatorial aspects of theoretical computer science, additive combinatorics, and graph theory. Many of the projects focus on less-explored aspects of active research topics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
