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

(c) 项目摘要 该项目的目的是加强密歇根大学跨学科数学研究、教学和博士后的专业发展。 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支持，其余支持来自每学期教授一门课程的半职助理教授任命（非终身教授）。 博士后/助理教授将根据他们进行研究和教授数学的能力和兴趣来选择，这些数学受到科学和工程（物理、化学、生物学、地质学、机械、电气、化学、工业和运营工程以及金融数学）中出现的问题的启发并应用于这些问题。 该项目的中心目标是支持密歇根大学科学与工程系以及其他卓越中心的数学系和研究人员之间现有的互动并刺激新的跨学科研究和合作。 这些目标将通过以下活动来实现，部分由赠款支持： .由数学问题和与其他学科相关的应用专家举办的定期跨学科数学研讨会。 。由部分博士后和博士后组织的年度研究会议，每年重点关注跨学科数学的不同特定领域。 。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水平专题课程。 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拥有广泛的经验。 他们将指导、指导博士后/助理教授并与之合作。 本次活动的经费将由数学科学处和公安部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.
