The Department of Mathematics at Iowa State University (ISU) will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) three times over five years. The goals of the ISU Math REU are to provide a supportive environment where students can discover the excitement of mathematical research, to increase the number of US citizens including women and minorities receiving Ph.D.s in the mathematical sciences, and to produce high quality research suitable for publication in reputable journals. The REUs will conclude with presentations given by the participants. Many of the research teams submit papers for publication and most REU participants present their work at conferences. Participants will be provided a stipend, accommodation in student housing, and some travel and meal funding. Additional educational, community building, and social activities will be provided, both as part of this project and as part of the larger all-ISU REU summer program. Women and minorities are particularly encouraged to apply to this REU.Each year the REU runs, approximately 15 students will be selected to spend eight weeks working on research projects in teams consisting of 3-5 student participants together with graduate student and faculty mentors. The projects are in a variety of mathematical areas, representing the diverse research interests of the ISU Mathematics Department including the following: graph theory and combinatorics, numerical analysis, algebra, analysis, data science, and probability. The offered topics will vary each year based on faculty availability. Previous projects are described in more detail on the REU website https://reu.math.iastate.edu. This REU is research focused, with the first week (approximately) being spent covering background information by the mentors and then transitions to where students spend their time conducting research in dedicated spaces receiving daily feedback from their mentors. Each week one or two hours are set aside for professional development, including issues such as preparing for graduate school, equity, working with collaborators, using LaTeX, and how to give professional presentations. This provides students with an experience of mathematical research and the skills needed to thrive in a demanding academic environment.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

爱荷华州立大学（ISU）的数学系将在五年内为本科生（REU）举办研究经验。 ISU数学REU的目标是提供一个支持性的环境，学生可以在其中发现数学研究的兴奋，增加包括在数学科学中获得博士学位的妇女和少数民族在内的美国公民的数量，并提供适合在著名期刊上出版的高质量研究。 REU将以参与者的演讲结束。许多研究团队提交了出版论文，大多数REU参与者在会议上介绍了他们的作品。参与者将获得津贴，学生住房的住宿以及一些旅行和餐饮资金。作为该项目的一部分，也将提供其他教育，社区建设和社交活动，也将作为较大的All-ISU REU夏季计划的一部分。特别鼓励妇女和少数族裔申请这一REU。east年REU跑步，将选择大约15名学生与3-5名学生参与者以及研究生和教师导师一起花8周的时间在研究项目中工作。这些项目位于多种数学领域，代表ISU数学部门的多样化研究兴趣，包括以下内容：图理论和组合学，数值分析，代数，分析，数据科学和概率。所提供的主题每年会根据教职员工的供应而有所不同。在REU网站https://reu.math.iastate.edu上更详细地描述了先前的项目。 此REU是研究的重点，第一周（大约）用于涵盖导师的背景信息，然后过渡到学生花时间在专门的空间中进行研究，以收到导师的每日反馈。每个星期都要为专业发展一个或两个小时，包括为研究生院，股权，与合作者合作，使用乳胶做准备以及如何进行专业演讲等问题。这为学生提供了数学研究的经验以及在苛刻的学术环境中蓬勃发展所需的技能。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
