The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of California - Santa Barbara is an eight-week-long program designed to introduce its participants to mathematical research. It seeks to admit twelve students each summer from 2015-2017 to work with two faculty members on original research problems in mathematics. Previous iterations of this REU have prided themselves on their track record of recruiting women, minorities, and students from colleges that lack research opportunities for their students. The program aims to continue this trend of recruiting underrepresented and underserved groups in mathematics, and views this as one of the fundamental goals of this REU.The goal of this REU is to introduce its undergraduate participants to the practice and culture of mathematical research. The topics researched will vary from year to year; likely candidate areas include the fields of design theory, matrix theory, linear algebra, and graph theory. On an academic level, students in the REU will be exposed to a large amount of background material in mathematics. They will learn about their fields of interest through minicourses taught by faculty and immersion in their research problem. As well, students will be guided in the practical-level concerns of how to give talks, create posters, and write research papers through weekly meetings, presentations, and written reports. Students will be guided by faculty in how to present their results in appropriate research conferences and in submitting papers containing their work to refereed journals. Moreover, panels throughout the summer will advise students on how to pursue graduate studies, write a resume and personal statement, network in conferences, and continue to engage with the wider mathematical community once they return to their home institution among others.

加利福尼亚大学的本科生（REU）计划的研究经验 - 圣塔芭芭拉（Santa Barbara）是一个为期八周的计划，旨在将其参与者介绍给数学研究。它试图从2015 - 2017年开始每年夏天接受十二名学生，与两名教职员工一起解决数学的原始研究问题。 此REU的以前迭代以其招募妇女，少数民族和来自缺乏学生研究机会的妇女，少数民族和学生的往绩而感到自豪。 该计划旨在继续这种趋势，即在数学领域招募缺乏代表性和服务不足的群体，并将其视为此REU的基本目标之一。该REU的目标是将其本科参与者介绍给数学研究的实践和文化。 研究的主题每年都会有所不同；可能的候选领域包括设计理论的领域，基质理论，线性代数和图理论。从学术层面上，REU中的学生将暴露于数学中的大量背景材料。 他们将通过教师和沉浸在研究问题中教授的微型训练来了解自己的感兴趣领域。 同样，学生将通过每周的会议，演讲和书面报告来指导如何进行谈判，创建海报并撰写研究论文的实践层面关注点。 学生将在适当的研究会议和提交包含其作品的论文中向裁判期刊提交结果的指导。此外，整个夏季的小组将向学生提供有关如何探讨研究生学习，撰写简历和个人陈述，网络网络的建议，一旦他们返回家庭机构等，他们就会继续与更广泛的数学社区互动。
