The Polymath Jr is an online summer program that provides hundreds of college students the opportunity to participate in mathematical research. This highly inclusive program allows each participant to choose their level of involvement. The program presents a wide variety of mathematical research projects. Each project is mentored by a professor with additional support by graduate students. The program supports many students who otherwise have no opportunity to explore their mathematical potential. The participants learn how mathematical research is conducted, and many also publish papers in research journals. Many continue to graduate school and to mathematical careers.The Polymath Jr program will include research projects in number theory, combinatorics, topology, algebra, probability, complex analysis, machine learning, math education, and much more. Different projects also have different styles of research work, allowing each student to join a project that is a good fit for them. We focus on problems that consist of separate parts at different levels of difficulty. The staggered projects allow supporting groups of students with varied mathematical backgrounds. The program also includes a component for training graduate students to mentor undergraduate research projects and run research groups.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.

Polymath Jr 是一个在线暑期项目，为数百名大学生提供参与数学研究的机会。这个高度包容性的计划允许每个参与者选择他们的参与程度。该计划提出了各种各样的数学研究项目。每个项目都由一位教授指导，并得到研究生的额外支持。该计划为许多没有机会探索数学潜力的学生提供支持。参与者学习如何进行数学研究，许多人还在研究期刊上发表论文。许多人继续读研究生并从事数学职业。Polymath Jr 项目将包括数论、组合学、拓扑学、代数、概率、复分析、机器学习、数学教育等领域的研究项目。不同的项目也有不同的研究工作风格，让每个学生都能加入到适合自己的项目。我们专注于由不同难度级别的单独部分组成的问题。交错的项目可以支持具有不同数学背景的学生群体。该计划还包括培训研究生指导本科生研究项目和管理研究小组的部分。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。
