Mathematical Sciences: Mills College Summer Mathematics Institute, 1991

米尔斯学院将为全国范围内挑选的24名女本科生开发和运营一个为期6周的项目，该项目将为她们提供密集的数学沉浸，旨在激励她们，并加强她们为毕业后进入数学博士课程做准备。该计划还将扩大和加强全国数学教师的努力，以鼓励更多的女性主修数学，并引导最有前途的人进入研究生院。该计划还将鼓励参与该计划的学生在所在机构的同龄人中担任数学活动的领导者。最后，将收集和分析数据，以期澄清为什么现在攻读数学博士学位的女性比男性少得多。

Mills College will develop and operate a 6-week program for 24 women undergraduates, selected nationwide, which will provide them with an intensive immersion in mathematics designed to motivate them, and strengthen their preparation, for entrance into a mathematics Ph.D. program after graduation. The program will also broaden and strengthen the efforts of the nation's mathematics faculty to encourage more women to major in mathematics and to direct the most promising ones toward graduate school. The program will also encourage participating students to serve as leaders in mathematical activities among their peers at their own institution. Finally, data will be gathered and analyzed with a view to clarifying the reasons why many fewer women mathematics majors than men now go on to Ph.D. programs in mathematics.
