Rutgers Young Scholars Program in Discrete Mathematics

9553509罗森斯坦罗格斯大学将为45名10-12年级的学生启动为期四周的离散数学青年学者项目。该课程将向学生介绍离散数学，这是一个具有许多应用和许多开放问题的可访问领域；会提高学生解决问题的能力；将他们暴露给各种各样的数学科学家作为榜样；并鼓励他们考虑从事数学和科学方面的职业。由大学教师举办的研讨会将集中讨论图的应用、图论中的算法、迭代和分形以及应用。与这些主题相关的探索和演示将使用各种技术环境。研究项目将由大学和行业数学家以及计算机科学家指导。该计划将包括来自工业界的演讲者、实地考察、职业指导研讨会和数学科学伦理的讨论。跟进课程将于学年的四个星期六举行。

9553509 Rosenstein Rutgers University will initiate a four week residential, Young Scholars project in discrete mathematics for forty-five students entering grades 10-12. The program will introduce students to discrete mathematics, an accessible field with many applications and many open problems; will increase students' problem solving ability; will expose them to a wide variety of mathematical scientists as role models; and will encourage them to consider careers in mathematics and the sciences. Workshops conducted by college faculty will focus on applications of graphs, algorithms in graph theory, iteration and fractals, and applications. A variety of technology environments will be used for explorations and demonstrations related to these topics. Research projects will be mentored by university and industry mathematicians and computer scientists. The program will include speakers from industry, field trips, career orientation workshops and discussions of ethics in the mathematical sciences. Follow up sessions will be held on four Saturdays during the school year.
