This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). This project will support the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in mathematics at the University of Texas at Tyler. The 8-week program will take place in the summers of 2022, 2023, and 2024. Each summer, ten 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 go on to pursue careers in mathematics. The REU will have a greater effect by recruiting students from underrepresented groups. In particular, Hispanic students, women, and first-generation college students will be recruited.The mentors for the REU site at the University of Texas at Tyler 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 abstract algebra, graph theory, and number theory. All topics will be accessible to students who have taken early proof-based courses in their major. 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 conferences for mathematicians.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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。该项目将支持德克萨斯大学泰勒分校数学的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验。为期8周的节目将在2022年，2023年和2024年的夏季举行。每个夏天，十名学生将分三个小组与一名教师导师一起工作。该计划着重于建立学生参与者的信心，并准备继续从事数学职业。 REU将通过招募来自代表性不足的群体的学生产生更大的影响。特别是，将招募西班牙裔学生，女性和第一代大学生。泰勒分校的REU网站的导师将提供本科生可以解决的研究问题，但对工作数学家来说很有趣。目的是为参与者提供机会进行原始研究，从而在专业期刊上发表。研究项目位于抽象代数，图理论和数字理论的领域。所有主题都可以访问那些在专业的早期基于证明的课程的学生。到八周结束时，REU学生将以专业的形式写下他们的结果，并准备最终的演讲和一张适合在数学家会议上演讲的海报。这项奖项反映了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影响的审查标准通过评估来获得支持的。
