This National Science Foundation award provides support for a renewal of an REU Site at Kansas State University that offers a summer research program to undergraduates with a variety of projects in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and biomathematics. The REU Site will host ten students per year for eight weeks in three summers. Students will conduct original research and publish results in peer reviewed mathematics journals whenever possible. In addition, the program offers several professional development activities such as workshops in mathematical typesetting and presentation tools, subject GRE preparation, and training in computational tools as needed to work on the projects. The REU program ends with a student-organized mini conference. Most of the social activities are joint with the other REUs on campus. Recruitment plan emphasizes community colleges, Historically Black Colleges, minority-serving institutions, and regional liberal arts colleges in the EPSCoR state of Kansas. Under the experienced guidance provided by the PI, Co-PI, and other senior mentors, this program has a strong record of alumni completing first tier PhD programs,and placing with top ranked employers in finance and software companies, as well as entering secondary education.The REU participants will work on problems in the areas of topology, partial differential equations (PDEs), network security, mathematical modeling, biomathematics, knot theory and topological quantum field theory. Professional development component will include workshops on mathematics presentation tools LaTeX and Beamer, and computational tools such as MATLAB and Python programming. The past programs have served large numbers of women and minorities, and have referred a number of students to become Math Alliance scholars. Detailed tracking of alumni shows them graduating from top tier PhD programs in mathematics, and securing employment with top employers in finance, insurance, and software companies. Publications resulting from research carried out at the REU have appeared in research journals in cryptography, topology, number theory, analysis, PDEs and applied mathematics.

这项国家科学基金会奖为堪萨斯州立大学的REU网站的续签提供了支持，该奖项提供了夏季研究计划，以通过各种纯数学，应用数学和生物护理学项目的各种项目的本科生。 REU网站每年将在三个夏天接待10名学生八周。学生将尽可能在同行评审的数学期刊中进行原始研究并发布结果。此外，该计划还提供了几项专业开发活动，例如数学排版和演示工具的研讨会，主题GRE准备以及根据需要在项目上工作的计算工具进行培训。 REU计划以学生组织的迷你会议结束。大多数社交活动与校园的其他REU是联合的。招聘计划强调社区学院，历史上的黑人学院，少数派服务机构以及堪萨斯州Epscor州的区域文科学院。 Under the experienced guidance provided by the PI, Co-PI, and other senior mentors, this program has a strong record of alumni completing first tier PhD programs,and placing with top ranked employers in finance and software companies, as well as entering secondary education.The REU participants will work on problems in the areas of topology, partial differential equations (PDEs), network security, mathematical modeling, biomathematics, knot theory and topological quantum field 理论。专业开发组件将包括有关数学演示工具乳胶和Beamer的研讨会，以及Matlab和Python编程等计算工具。过去的计划为大量妇女和少数民族提供了服务，并介绍了许多学生成为数学联盟学者。校友的详细跟踪表明，他们从数学上的顶级博士学位课程毕业，并在金融，保险和软件公司的顶级雇主中获得就业。在REU进行的研究产生的出版物已出现在密码学，拓扑，数字理论，分析，PDE和应用数学方面的研究期刊中。
