Mathematical Sciences: Computation in Geometry, Topology andErgodic Theory

莱斯大学数学系将购买以下设备：1台文件服务器、1台计算服务器、2台硬盘、1台光盘阅读器（CDROM）、6台X窗口终端（一台带有彩色显示器）、连接终端与系统的硬件、1台打印机和Mathematica软件。这些设备将专门用于支持数学科学方面的研究。该设备将用于Robert Hardt， Michael Wolf和Robin Forman的微分几何和分析项目，Tim Cochran的三维连接现象项目，以及Michael Boshernitzan的遍历理论和组合数论项目。所采用的方法将强调符号，代数和图形计算应用于固有的科学兴趣问题的研究人员在他们的领域建立。

The Department of Mathematics at Rice University will purchase the following equipment: one file server, one compute server, two hard disks, one compact disk reader (CDROM), six X- window terminals (one with color monitor), hardware to connect terminals to system, one printer, and the software Mathematica. This equipment will be dedicated to support research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment will be used for projects in Differential Geometry and Analysis by Robert Hardt, Michael Wolf and Robin Forman, Linking Phenomena in Three-Dimensions by Tim Cochran, and in Ergodic Theory and Combinatorial Number Theory by Michael Boshernitzan. The methods employed will stress symbolic, algebraic and graphical computation applied to problems of inherent scientific interest by researchers well-established in their fields.
