The Department of Mathematics at the Louisiana State University (LSU) will purchase a client-server network of workstations configured as parallel virtual machines, equipment which will be dedicated to the support of research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment will be used for several research projects: Solving Multivariate Polynomial Systems, Cohomology of Siegel Modular Threefolds, Representation Theory of the Fundamental Groups of Knots and Links, Matroid Representability and Scalable Network Scientific Computing. The projects involve intensive symbolic, algebraic and numeric computations which require speed, memory, network connectivity and tools for efficient code development and interactive graphical display.This proposal will enhance the competitiveness and productivity of the researchers in mathematics by supplying workstations to support the specialized research tools available in research mathematics, by initiating a research laboratory to implement and configure a distributed network computing environment. The laboratory will aid communication among the research groups as well as support graduate student research and dissertation projects. Finally, the grant proposes a solid framework for multidisciplinary research and education in the mathematical sciences with collaboration from computer science and engineering.

路易斯安那州立大学 (LSU) 数学系将购买配置为并行虚拟机的客户端-服务器工作站网络，这些设备将致力于支持数学科学研究。 该设备将用于多个研究项目：求解多元多项式系统、西格尔模三重的上同调、结和链接基本群的表示论、拟阵表示性和可扩展网络科学计算。这些项目涉及密集的符号、代数和数值计算，需要速度、内存、网络连接以及用于高效代码开发和交互式图形显示的工具。该提案将通过提供工作站来支持研究数学中可用的专业研究工具，通过启动研究实验室来实施和配置分布式网络计算环境，从而提高数学研究人员的竞争力和生产力。 该实验室将帮助研究小组之间的交流，并支持研究生的研究和论文项目。最后，该赠款提出了与计算机科学和工程学合作的数学科学多学科研究和教育的坚实框架。
