A Primer for Undergraduate Research

Zusatztext

<p>A pioneering text providing state-of-the-art resources for faculty looking to mentor in undergraduate research and students looking to participate</p> <p>Contains a wide range of topics, not normally addressed by the undergraduate curriculum, appropriate for student-faculty exploration that are from pure and applied math</p> <p>A completely self-contained and accessible text with pre-requisites, specific open problems, directions for new research and a carefully selected bibliography included in every chapter</p> <p>Equips readers to tackle the many challenges of starting undergraduate research</p>

Autorenportrait

<p>Aaron Wootton, Valerie Peterson and Christopher Lee are all current professors in the Mathematics department of the University of Portland.</p><p>Professor Wootton's research interests include Complex Algebraic Geometry: Defining equations for Riemann Surfaces, Quasiplatonic Surfaces and Dessins D'Enfants, Automorphism Groups of Compact Riemann Surfaces; Group Theory: Finite Groups (Group Actions and Structure Theory), Finitely Presented Groups; Geometric Group Theory: Discrete Groups (Fuchsian Groups and Fundamental Groups), Mapping Class Groups of Compact Connected Surfaces.</p><p> </p>Professor Peterson's research interests include algebraic topology, metric and combinatorial geometry, geometric group theory, and the teaching and learning of mathematics.<p></p><p> </p><p>Professor Lee's research interests include equivariant differential topology and geometry. In particular: Hamiltonian Lie group actions on (folded) symplectic and contact manifolds, symmetry in completely integrable systems, applications of (combinatorial and smooth) Morse theory, and singularities of differentiable mappings.</p><p></p>
