Mathematics in Industry: Six Regional Workshops

工业及应用数学学会(SIAM)建议在三年内举办六个地区工作坊，以帮助当地教师根据SIAM关于工业数学的报告(MII)的建议设计和实施他们的课程改革。这些讲习班的重点将是通过在适当的情况下直接与教师和当地行业合作来促进当地的行动。此外，重点将放在探索在没有适当的当地工业的地方为学生提供相关的应用的、非学术的数学经验的方法。信息产业部研究早期得出的结论之一是，大学和学院在探索跨学科项目、识别和与行业合作方面需要更多的经验和激励。这个项目将为大学和学院部门提供一个机会，让他们了解如何获得这方面的经验。

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) proposes to run six regional workshops over three years to help local faculty design and implement changes to their programs consistent with the recommendations of the SIAM Report on Mathematics in Industry (MII). The emphasis of these workshops will be on facilitating local action by working directly with faculty and local industry, where applicable. In addition, emphasis will be placed on exploring means of providing relevant applied, nonacademic mathematical experiences for students at locations where there is no appropriate local industry. One of the conclusions that was reached early in the MII study is that universities and colleges need more experience and incentive in exploring interdisciplinary programs and identifying and working with industry. This project will provide an opportunity for university and college departments to obtain some insight into how to gain this experience.
