Ten undergraduates will assemble for 8 weeks at Auburn University in each of the summers 2016-2018 to conduct research in algebra and discrete mathematics. This program is a continuation of successful REU programs conducted by the proposers at Auburn in prior years. The pattern of activities will be as before: intensive introduction to problems and problem areas in the first 2-3 weeks, capped by an obligatory "ice-breaker" presentation by each participant in the 3rd week, followed by a "research institute" phase in the remaining 5 weeks, capped by a final presentation by each participant. During the research institute phase there will be frequent talks given by faculty and graduate students of the department, visiting mathematicians, and the participants themselves, but the main feature of that phase will be research carried on by the participants, in various combinations with faculty, graduate students, and themselves. The purpose of the program is to give the participants an authentic experience of mathematical research.This REU focuses on some of the current research problems in algebra (computational algebra, Groebner bases) and discrete mathematics (graph theory, graphs and hypergraphs, number theory, information and coding theory). As in past years, results will be published in books or refereed journals.

在2016 - 2018年夏季，十名本科生将在奥本大学组装8周，以在代数和离散数学上进行研究。该计划是前几年在奥本（Auburn）进行的成功的REU计划的延续。活动的模式将与以前一样：在最初的2-3周内对问题和问题领域进行密集介绍，每个参与者在第三周的强制性“破冰者”演示中限制了剩下的5周的“研究机构”阶段，随后是每个参与者的最终演讲。在研究机构阶段，该系的教职员工和研究生将频繁进行数学家和参与者本身的演讲，但该阶段的主要特征将由参与者与教职员工，研究生和他们自己进行的各种组合进行研究。该计划的目的是为参与者提供数学研究的真实经验。此REU重点介绍了代数（计算代数，Groebner基础）和离散数学（图理论，图理论，图形和超图，数字和数字，编号理论，信息理论和编码理论）的当前研究问题。 与过去的几年一样，结果将在书籍或裁判期刊上发表。
