This grant funds the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in mathematics at the University of Texas at Tyler. The eight-week program will take place in the summers of 2017, 2018, and 2019. Each summer, nine students will work in groups of three with one faculty mentor leading each group. The program focuses on building confidence of student participants and preparing them to pursue careers in mathematics. The REU will have a greater effect by recruiting students from underrepresented groups. In particular, African Americans, Hispanics, women, and first-generation college students will be recruited. The mentors for the REU site will provide research questions that are accessible to undergraduates, yet interesting to working mathematicians. The goal is to provide participants the opportunity to conduct original research leading to publication in professional journals. The research projects are in the areas of graph theory, combinatorics, and abstract algebra. All topics will be accessible to students who have taken early proof-based mathematics courses. By the end of the eight weeks, REU students will write their results in a professional format and prepare a final talk and a poster suitable for presentation at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in January.

这笔赠款资助德克萨斯大学泰勒分校的数学本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。 这个为期八周的项目将在 2017 年、2018 年和 2019 年的夏天进行。每年夏天，九名学生将分成三人一组，每组由一名导师带领。 该计划的重点是建立学生参与者的信心，并为他们从事数学职业做好准备。 REU 将通过从代表性不足的群体中招收学生来产生更大的影响。特别是，非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、女性和第一代大学生将被招募。 REU 网站的导师将提供本科生可以理解但在职数学家感兴趣的研究问题。 目标是为参与者提供进行原创研究并在专业期刊上发表的机会。 研究项目涉及图论、组合学和抽象代数领域。 所有主题都可供参加过早期基于证明的数学课程的学生使用。 八周结束时，REU 学生将以专业格式写出他们的结果，并准备适合在一月份联合数学会议上展示的期末演讲和海报。
