This project brings undergraduate students and high school teachers together to solve contemporary research problems in mathematics. Working together in small groups over an extended period during the summer, the participants will enhance their abilities in problem solving, communication, and intellectual perseverance as they learn the working methods of a research mathematician. The primary goal of the project is to produce publications in peer-reviewed academic journals based on the culmination of successful research. Additionally, by introducing participants to successful research processes, they will be well-prepared for future success in mathematical disciplines in graduate school and beyond. The combined cohort of undergraduates and teachers will bolster the mathematical fluency and dynamism of local secondary mathematics education, leading to enhanced educational opportunities for future high school students. This award supports a multi-year Research Experiences for Undergraduates and Teachers (REUT) program at California State University, Chico (CSU Chico). During each of the three years funded by the grant, two faculty members will mentor a group of ten participants as they work on mathematical research problems over a seven week period during the summer. The participants are mostly advanced undergraduate students in mathematics from throughout the U.S.A., joined by high school mathematics teachers recruited from the region served by CSU Chico in northern California. The research topics are drawn from the expertise of the faculty advisors and consist of compelling contemporary problems in number theory, graph theory, commutative algebra, topology, and statistics. By engaging the students with guided research techniques during the summer session, and then maintaining regular contact in the following months, the advisors will help facilitate successful academic publications as a result of the REUT.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.

该项目使本科生和高中老师聚集在一起，以解决数学的当代研究问题。在夏季，参与者将在较长的时间内与小组合作，在学习研究数学家的工作方法时，他们将增强他们在解决问题，沟通和智力毅力方面的能力。该项目的主要目标是基于成功研究的高潮，在同行评审的学术期刊上生产出版物。此外，通过向参与者介绍成功的研究过程，他们将在研究生院及以后的数学学科中做好充分的准备。本科生和教师组合的组合将增强当地二级数学教育的数学流利性和活力，从而为未来的高中生提供了增强的教育机会。该奖项支持奇科加利福尼亚州立大学（CSU Chico）的本科生和教师计划的多年研究经验。在赠款资助的三年中的每一年中，两名教职员工将在夏季的七个星期内从事数学研究问题，指导十名参与者。参与者大多是整个美国的数学学院高级本科生，由来自北加州CSU Chico招募的高中数学老师加入。研究主题是从教师顾问的专业知识中汲取的，包括在数字理论，图理论，交换代数，拓扑和统计学中引人入胜的当代问题。通过在夏季课程中吸引学生使用有指导性的研究技术，然后在接下来的几个月内保持定期联系，顾问将有助于促进路透社的成功学术出版物。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和更广泛影响的审查审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来提供支持的。
