At the Williams College "SMALL" REU site, for about nine weeks each summer, about 20 undergraduates (14 supported by the NSF site grant) work in groups of about three or four on original research with up to 6 faculty. Topics for 2004 include Computational Cartography, Ergodic Theory, Geometry/Minimal Surfaces, and Riemannian Geometry of Manifolds of Positive Curvature.The goal of the SMALL program is to introduce undergraduates to the excitement and challenge of doing original research in mathematics, while naturally learning lots of background. They come to understand that the ultimate goal of learning is not just to apply what is known, but to make creative advances which further our understanding of ourselves and our world.Our nation needs a wider appreciation and understanding of mathematics, and cannot afford to leave anyone out. We encourage applications from women, minorities, and other underrepresented groups.For more information see our website at http://www.williams.edu/Mathematics/small_CES.html

在威廉姆斯学院“小型”REU 站点，每年夏天大约有 9 周的时间，大约 20 名本科生（其中 14 名由 NSF 站点拨款资助）以大约三到四人为一组，与最多 6 名教员一起进行原创性研究。 2004 年的主题包括计算制图、遍历理论、几何/最小曲面和正曲率流形的黎曼几何。SMALL 项目的目标是向本科生介绍进行数学原创研究的兴奋和挑战，同时自然地学到很多东西的背景。他们逐渐认识到，学习的最终目标不仅仅是应用已知的知识，而是取得创造性的进步，从而进一步了解我们自己和我们的世界。我们的国家需要对数学有更广泛的欣赏和理解，并且不能离开任何人出去。我们鼓励女性、少数族裔和其他代表性不足的群体提出申请。有关更多信息，请访问我们的网站：http://www.williams.edu/Mathematics/small_CES.html
