Three two-week workshops will be held to acquaint undergraduate professors with new curricula ideas and applications in the areas of mathematical modeling, geometry, and statistics. Leaders in each field, both academic and practitioners, will interact with seventy-five nationally drawn participants to enable them to understand new developments in these mathematical fields and to prepare applications-based modular materials suitable for classroom use. Areas to be discussed are problem-solving strategies using combinatorics and graph theory, applications of analysis to biology, and graphical algorithms in the social sciences. In geometry, emphasis will center on tilings, combinatorial geometry, and studies in computational geometry. Statistics will focus on data analysis and graphical techniques as applied to experimental design, quality control, and sociology.

将举办三个为期两周的讲习班，使本科教授熟悉数学建模、几何和统计领域的新课程理念和应用。每个领域的领导者，包括学术和实践者，将与75名来自全国的参与者进行互动，使他们能够了解这些数学领域的新发展，并准备适合课堂使用的基于应用的模块化材料。讨论的领域是使用组合学和图论解决问题的策略，分析在生物学中的应用，以及社会科学中的图形算法。在几何方面，重点将集中在拼接、组合几何和计算几何的研究上。统计学将侧重于数据分析和图形技术，应用于实验设计、质量控制和社会学。
