项目摘要

Each summer, this REU program in mathematics at Baruch College, CUNY will provide the opportunity for a diverse group of students from across the country to gain hands-on exposure to mathematical research and mentorship. One main goal of the REU is to contribute to the development of a diverse and inclusive future workforce. Each summer, at least half of participants will be women. The program will also prioritize students who might otherwise have no opportunity to explore their mathematical potential. Under the guidance of faculty mentors, according to their individual backgrounds, participants work on a wide range of complex mathematical research projects, investigate open mathematical problems, and hone their writing and presentation skills. The mentors aim to foster long-term relationships with their mentees, supporting them as they continue with their careers.The research projects of the program study open questions in combinatorics, discrete probability, and mathematical aspects of computer science. These include projects in discrete geometry, combinatorial topology, probabilistic approaches to particle systems, combinatorial aspects of theoretical computer science, additive combinatorics, and graph theory. Many of the projects focus on less-explored aspects of active research topics.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.

每年夏天，纽约市立大学巴鲁克学院的 REU 数学项目将为来自全国各地的不同学生群体提供亲身接触数学研究和指导的机会。 REU 的主要目标之一是为培养多元化和包容性的未来劳动力做出贡献。每年夏天，至少有一半的参与者是女性。该计划还将优先考虑那些可能没有机会探索其数学潜力的学生。在教师导师的指导下，参与者根据个人背景开展广泛的复杂数学研究项目，研究开放的数学问题，并磨练他们的写作和演讲技巧。导师的目标是与学员建立长期关系，为他们继续职业生涯提供支持。该项目的研究项目提出了计算机科学的组合学、离散概率和数学方面的问题。这些项目包括离散几何、组合拓扑、粒子系统的概率方法、理论计算机科学的组合方面、加性组合学和图论。许多项目侧重于活跃研究主题中较少探索的方面。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
