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是一个在线夏季计划，为数百名大学生提供了参加数学研究的机会。这个高度包容性的计划使每个参与者都可以选择他们的参与程度。该计划提出了各种数学研究项目。每个项目都由教授指导，并得到研究生的额外支持。该计划支持许多否则没有机会探索其数学潜力的学生。参与者学习了如何进行数学研究，许多人也在研究期刊上发表论文。许多人继续从事研究生院和数学职业。PolymathJR计划将包括数字理论，组合，拓扑，代数，概率，复杂分析，机器学习，数学教育等的研究项目。不同的项目还具有不同风格的研究工作，使每个学生都可以加入一个非常适合他们的项目。我们专注于由不同级别难度下的单独部分组成的问题。交错的项目允许支持具有不同数学背景的学生小组。该计划还包括一个培训研究生的组成部分，以指导本科研究项目并运行研究小组。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为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获得支持。
