Mathematicians at Amherst, Hampshire, Holy Cross, Mount Holyoke, Smith and Williams Colleges and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst will set up a Regional Geometry Institute beginning in January of 1991. The Institute will bring together researchers, graduate students, undergraduate students and college and high school faculty. The overall theme of the Institute will be the interaction between geometry and computation. The research part of the Institute will consider situations where computational techniques shed new light on classical geometric problems and it will examine topics that have come to the fore because of the existence of such techniques. The educational part of the Institute will explore how computers make it possible to uncover these themes at home and in the classroom and it will examine the opportunities this presents for the geometry curriculum at the high school and undergraduate levels.

汉普郡阿默斯特学院、圣十字学院、芒特霍利奥克学院、史密斯学院和威廉姆斯学院以及马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的数学家们将从1991年1月开始建立一个区域几何研究所。该研究所将汇集研究人员、研究生、本科生以及大学和高中教职员工。该研究所的总主题将是几何和计算之间的相互作用。研究所的研究部分将考虑计算技术对经典几何问题有新的认识的情况，并将审查由于这种技术的存在而出现的问题。该研究所的教育部分将探索计算机如何使在家庭和课堂上发现这些主题成为可能，并将研究这为高中和本科生的几何课程带来的机会。
