U.S.-FSU: Developing Mathematics Information Centers in the Former Soviet Union

“发展前苏联数学信息中心ıFSU!”，由美国数学学会ıAMS！（Susan Friedlander博士，首席研究员ıPI!），将通过直接援助FSU的数学图书馆和在高度集中的数学活动领域建立数学信息中心来扩大其现有的努力，以协助数学基础设施的发展。美国医学辅助队咨询委员会一直在协调美国医学辅助队在这方面的举措，由美国医学辅助队成员的捐款和相应的斯隆基金会拨款资助，将对该计划进行监督。咨询委员会从其在俄罗斯和乌克兰组织的顾问、居住在美国的FSU外籍学者以及该学会的各个部门获得咨询意见。此外，PI和co-PI非常了解FSU数学界的当前需求，以及FSU现有的和计划中的帮助科学的努力。该奖项旨在证明建立数学信息中心的有效性，并通过分发最新的数学期刊和书籍来帮助FSU的22个图书馆。AMS计划的目标是促进美国科学家与FSU同行之间的科学交流，建立和培养FSU数学家之间的网络和交流能力，并在专业协会框架内形成和扩大联盟，以实现他们的共同利益。＊＊＊

This proposal, "Developing Mathematics Information Centers in the Former Soviet Union ıFSU!," to be performed by the American Mathematical Society ıAMS! (Dr. Susan Friedlander, Principal Investigator ıPI!), will expand its existing efforts to assist the development of mathematics infrastructure by directly aiding mathematics libraries in the FSU and establishing mathematics information centers in areas of highly concentrated mathematical activity. The AMS Advisory Committee, which has been coordinating current AMS initiatives in this area, funded by donations from AMS members and a matching Sloan Foundation grant, would provide oversight for this program. The Advisory Committee obtains advice from consultants it has organized in Russia and Ukraine, from expatriate FSU scholars resident in the U.S., and from the various Divisions of the Society. In addition, the PI and co-PI's are very knowledgeable about current needs of the mathematics community in the FSU, as well as existing and planned efforts to aid science in the FSU. This award provides support to demonstrate the effectiveness of establishing mathematics information centers and aiding 22 libraries throughout the FSU by distributing current mathematical journals and books. The goal of this AMS program is to promote scientific interchange between U.S. scientists and their counterparts in the FSU, and to establish and foster a capability for mathematicians within the fSU to network and communicate, and to form and expand alliances within a professional society framework for their common benefit. ***
