Mathematical Sciences/GIG: Interdisciplinary Mathematics: Applied and Numerical Analysis in Science and Engineering

(c)项目概述本项目旨在加强密歇根大学数学跨学科研究、教学和博士后专业发展。这笔资金主要为与数学系跨学科计划相关的四名博士后研究人员提供一半的支持，其余的支持来自每学期教授一门课程的兼职助理教授（非终身教职）。博士后/助理教授将根据他们的能力和兴趣进行研究和教授数学，并将其应用于科学和工程（物理、化学、生物、地质、机械、电气、化学、工业和操作工程以及金融数学）中的问题。该项目的中心目标是支持现有的互动，并刺激数学系与密歇根大学科学和工程部门以及其他卓越中心的研究人员之间的新的跨学科研究和合作。这些目标将通过下列部分由赠款支持的活动来实现：定期召开的跨学科数学研讨会，由与其他学科相关的数学问题和应用方面的专家讲授。一年一度的研究会议，由硕士和博士后的子集组织，每年集中在跨学科数学的一个不同的特定领域。博士后/助理教授将教授和开发跨学科数学领域的高年级本科生专题课程。Pls和其他高级相关研究人员在应用和跨学科数学研究方面具有广泛的经验。他们将指导、指导博士后/助理教授，并与他们合作。这项活动的经费将由数学科学司和MPS多学科活动办公室提供。

(c) PROJECT SUMMARY The purpose of this project is to enhance interdisciplinary mathematics research, teaching and the professional development of postdocs at the University of Michigan. This funding primarily provides half-support for four postdoctoral researchers associated with the Department of Mathematics' Interdisciplinary Initiative, with the remaining support coming from half-time assistant professor appointments (non-tenure-track) teaching one course per term. The postdoc/assistant professors will be selected for their ability and interest to conduct research and teach mathematics inspired by and applied to problems arising in science and engineering (physics, chemistry, biology, geology; mechanical, electrical, chemical, industrial and operations engineering, and financial mathematics). The central goal of the project is to support existing interactions and stimulate new interdisciplinary research and collaborations between the Department of Mathematics and researchers throughout the University of Michigan's science and engineering departments and at other centers of excellence. These goals will be pursued by way of the following activities supported in part by the grant: . A regularly scheduled Interdisciplinary Mathematics Seminar given by experts in mathematical issues and applications relevant to other disciplines. . An annual research conference organized by subsets of the Pls and postdocs, focusing each year on a different specific area of interdisciplinary mathematics. . Postdoc/assistant professors will teach and develop upper-division undergraduate level special topics courses in areas of interdisciplinary mathematics. The Pls and other senior associated researchers represent a broad spectrum of experience in applied and interdisciplinary mathematical research. They will mentor, guide, and collaborate with the postdoc/assistant professors. Funding for this activity will be provided by the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities.
