International Workshop in the Natural Sciences and Their Methodology: Lima, Peru, August, 1989

该提案邀请5名美国科学家参加将于1989年8月10日至18日在秘鲁利马举行的自然科学及其方法论国际研讨会，由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）与纽约市大皇后学院（Queens College of CUNY）和秘鲁国家科学技术委员会（CONCYTEC-Peru）共同赞助，作为发展中国家科学项目的一部分。其他国家参加者的经费来自国际科学理事会/教科文组织以及各种国际和国家研究组织和大学。这个多学科研讨会的主题是物理学、生物学和科学基础，旨在促进来自美国、秘鲁和其他国家的科学家之间的新的专业接触，他们有共同的研究兴趣。秘鲁的参与者将在CONCYTEC-Peru的帮助下选出。其目的是向秘鲁教师提供当今日益相互联系的自然世界科学观点的最新情况，重点是改进大学一级数学和自然科学普通课程的教学方法。涵盖的科学包括：生物学;生物化学;物理;进化研究;科学教育;数学;行为研究;人工智能;天文学;哲学和科学史。

This proposal for the participation of five U.S. scientists in an international workshop in the natural sciences and their methodology to be held in Lima, Peru, August 10-18 1989, is sponsored by NSF as part of the Science in Developing Countries Program, in conjunction with Queens College of CUNY, and the Peruvian National Council for Science and Technology (CONCYTEC-Peru). Funding for participants from other countries is coming from ICSU/UNESCO and a variety of international and national research organizations and universities. This multiple discipline workshop in selected topic in physics, biology, and the foundations of science, aims at stimulating new professional contacts among scientists from the US, Peru, and other countries who share common research interests. Peruvian participants will be selected with the help of CONCYTEC-Peru. The object is to provide Peruvian faculty with an up-dated picture of today's increasingly inter-connected scientific view of the natural world, with emphasis on improved approaches to the teaching of general courses at the college level mathematics and the natural sciences. Sciences to be covered include; biology; biochemistry; physics; evolutionary studies; science education; mathematics; behavioral studies; artificial intelligence; astronomy; and philosophy and history of science.
