This proposal requests funding for 12 months of a three-year project in which the Principal Investigator will augment his skills in geometry by adding expertise in computational geometry and by studying applications to geographic information systems, robotics and astrophysics. At the same time he will create two new graduate courses for students in mathematics, computer science and environmental science to be offered in the Department of Mathematics at Duke. These courses will be coordinated with other courses in Computer Science and the Nicholas School of the Environment and will help train students to participate in seminars and research projects of Duke's Center for Computational Geometry. (The Principal Investigator is co-director of the center with his sponsors in computer science.) In addition to developing these new courses, the Principal Investigator will begin to train Ph.D. students to work on applied problems in coordination with the center. During summer, 1998, the Principal Investigator will work full time in the CS Department at Duke developing the first new graduate course and studying applications to robotics. In academic year 98-99, he will spend 50% of his time in CS working on collaborative research projects with his co-sponsors in CS. The other 50% of his time will be in the Department of Mathematics where he will serve as department chair and teach the first course in the fall. Then in summer of 1999 he will work full time in CS and in the SOE, developing the second course and broadening his knowledge to include GIS. This work is part of a broader effort by the Department of Mathematics at Duke to expand the training of its graduate students by focusing more on computation and applications. This IGMS project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).

该提案要求为一个为期三年的项目提供12个月的资金，在该项目中，首席研究员将通过增加计算几何方面的专门知识和研究地理信息系统、机器人和天体物理学的应用来提高他的几何技能。 与此同时，他将创建两个新的研究生课程的学生在数学，计算机科学和环境科学将提供数学系在杜克。 这些课程将与计算机科学和尼古拉斯环境学院的其他课程协调，并将帮助培训学生参加杜克计算几何中心的研讨会和研究项目。 (The首席研究员是该中心的共同主任，他的赞助商在计算机科学。 除了开发这些新课程外，首席研究员将开始培训博士。学生与中心合作解决应用问题。 1998年夏季，首席研究员将在杜克计算机科学系全职工作，开发第一个新的研究生课程，并研究机器人技术的应用。 在98-99学年，他将花50%的时间在CS工作的合作研究项目与他的共同赞助商在CS。 他的时间的其他50%将在数学系，他将担任系主任，并教秋季的第一门课程。 然后在1999年夏天，他将在CS和SOE全职工作，开发第二门课程，并扩大他的知识，包括GIS。 这项工作是杜克大学数学系更广泛努力的一部分，旨在通过更多地关注计算和应用来扩大研究生的培训。 该IGMS项目由MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）和数学科学部（DMS）共同支持。
