2014 Research Experiences for Undergraduates

Basic Information
Michael Zieve's REU program took place from February 24, 2014 to June 13, 2014 at Tsinghua University. This year's program differed from those in previous years, in that it took place during the academic year. Each student had an individual project, and I met with each student for at least an hour each week, in addition to meeting with the whole group for two hours each week to explain background material and have students report on their progress. I thank Tsinghua's Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Yau Mathematical Sciences Center for making this experience possible.

Participants
Yihua Chen   (Morningside Center second year graduate student)
Zhangchi Chen   (Tsinghua University junior)
Zhan Jiang   (Tsinghua University junior)
Menglong Li   (Tsinghua University senior)
Congling Qiu   (Tsinghua University junior)
Jiaowen Yang   (Tsinghua University senior)
Yuxuan Yang   (Tsinghua University sophomore)

Subsequent Developments
Congling was the All-Around Winner of the 2014 S.-T. Yau College Student Math Contest.
Jiaowen won the Gold Medal for bachelor's theses in the 2014 New World Mathematics Awards.
Zhangchi will begin graduate school in Paris in 2015.
Zhan will begin graduate school at Michign in 2015.
Menglong began graduate school in Paris in 2014.
Congling will begin graduate school in Princeton in 2015.
Jiaowen spent 2014–2015 in graduate school in Paris, and will transfer to USC in 2015.

Papers
To be added soon.
