Mathematics Renovation Project

田纳西大学查塔努加分校是国家科学基金会的资金接受者，用于整修数学研究和研究培训空间。目前，数学系位于校园内最古老的建筑内，建于1902年。研究活动因空间配置不足、电缆和电气连接故障、通风、照明和暖通空调系统差以及电力系统已达到最大容量而受到抑制。残疾人也无法进入该设施。具体地说，NSF的资金将用于取代现有的数学科学专用空间，其中包括为实验室创造空间，以研究为基础的跨学科方法来培训学生的数学。这些翻修将有助于加强和扩大目前在统计和应用概率模拟方面的研究，如蒙特卡罗尔技术。还将加强反分散、优化、控制和PDE领域的活动，以包括环境和资源建模。将在波传播、工业数学、矩阵理论和统计金融建模等领域开发新的研究方法。预计随着设施的现代化，该系将通过提供更多的研究经验和接触最先进技术的机会，吸引更多的学生进入数学职业管道。该项目将加强与其他地区和国家机构的教师的合作，并为研究生课程提供基础。

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is the recipient of funds from the National Science Foundation to renovate mathematical research and research training space. Currently, the Department of Mathematics is housed in the oldest building on campus that was built in 1902. Research activities have been inhibited by inadequate space configuration, faulty cabling and electrical connections, poor ventilation, lighting, and HVAC systems, and an electrical system that has reached its capacity. The facility is also inaccessible to the disabled. Specifically, NSF funds will be used to replace the existing amount of square footage of space dedicated to the mathematical sciences, which includes creating space for a laboratory, research-based interdisciplinary approach to training students in mathematics. The renovations will allow for the enhancement and expansion of current research in statistics and applied probability simulations, such as Monte Carol techniques. Activities will also be enhanced in the area of inverse scattering, optimization, control and PDE, to include environmental and resource modeling. New research methods will be developed in the areas of wave propagation, industrial math, matrix theory, and statistical finance modeling. It is anticipated with modernized facilities the department will attract more students into the math career pipeline by providing increased opportunities for research experiences and access to state of the art technology. The project will increase collaborations with faculty from other regional and national institutions, as well as provide the foundation for a graduate program.
