REU Site: Summer Undergraduate Mathematics Research at Kansas State University

该奖项支持堪萨斯州立大学纯粹和应用数学REU站点的更新。这个暑期研究项目每年招收10名本科生，为期8周。学生对纯数学和应用数学的各种主题进行原创性研究，并尽可能在同行评审的数学期刊上发表结果。此外，该计划还提供专业发展活动，包括数学排版和演示工具的研讨会，项目所需的计算工具培训，以及哲学系关于逻辑、数学认识论和伦理学的讲座。REU项目包括一个学生组织的小型会议。社会活动与堪萨斯州立大学校园内的其他REU站点协调。招聘计划强调社区大学、历史上的黑人大学、少数族裔服务机构和地区文理学院。这个REU网站的参与者研究复杂分析、计算成像、拓扑和数论领域的问题。该计划的专业开发部分包括数学演示工具以及计算工具（如MATLAB和Python编程）的研讨会。该项目致力于促进妇女、弱势群体和经济弱势群体的参与，并将一些学生推荐为数学联盟的学者。这个更新REU网站的过去参与者已经在上述主题领域的研究期刊上发表了该计划期间所做的工作成果。该项目由数学科学部本科生研究经验（REU）站点计划和建立计划以刺激竞争研究（EPSCoR）共同资助。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This award supports the renewal of an REU Site in pure and applied mathematics at Kansas State University. This summer research program hosts ten undergraduate students per year for eight weeks. Students conduct original research on a variety of topics in pure and applied mathematics, and publish results in peer reviewed mathematics journals when possible. In addition, the program offers professional development activities, including workshops in mathematical typesetting and presentation tools, training in computational tools as needed to work on the projects, and talks by philosophy faculty on logic, mathematical epistemology and ethics. The REU program includes a student-organized mini conference. Social activities are coordinated with other REU sites on the Kansas State University campus. The recruitment plan emphasizes community colleges, Historically Black Colleges, minority-serving institutions, and regional liberal arts colleges.Participants in this REU site work on problems in the areas of complex analysis, computational imaging, topology, and number theory. Professional development components of the program include workshops on mathematics presentation tools as well as computational tools such as MATLAB and Python programming. The program is committed to promoting participation of women, under-represented minorities and economically disadvantaged individuals, and refers a number of students to become Math Alliance scholars. Past participants in this renewal REU site have published the outcomes of work done during the program in research journals in the topical areas described above.This project is jointly funded by the Division of Mathematical Sciences Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites Program and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.
