AbstractRPIThe focus of Rensselaer's VIGRE activities is mathematical training directed towards contemporary scientific problem solving. This includes disciplinary depth as well as exposure to, and participation in, interdisciplinary research programs in both academic and non-academic settings. In the process, students and postdoctoral fellows are involved in a broad variety of different research and educational activities. This includes scholarly work to learn new material, research to generate new results, talks to communicate new techniques and results, and curriculum development and excellence in classroom teaching. The fundamental integrating activity for the vertically structured groups are research and communication seminars. The main goal of the program is the enrichment of the educational experience of students and postdocs, to promote the research and educational activities at Rensselaer, and to encourage and advance mathematical science students and postdocs toward academic careers. This provides a foundation for what is essential in science today, that is, breadth of knowledge and the ability to communicate effectively across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Our program links undergraduate, graduate and postdoc career enhancing experiences together with K-12 outreach. Our strengths are in interdisciplinary activities including strong industrial connections together with nationally recognized innovative educational activities. Our product will be well-trained professionals ready for successful academic careers. The impact of the Rensselaer program will be in producing mathematical scientists with industrial problem solving experience, with a strong understanding of applications areas, with analysis, modeling and numerical computation skills, with the ability to creatively produce new mathematics needed to solve applied problems, with innovative education and teaching experiences, and with the ability to participate in the building of academic applied mathematics programs. Funding for this award is provided by the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the MPS Directorate's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities.

Rensselaer的VIGRE活动的重点是针对当代科学问题解决的数学训练。 这包括学科深度以及接触和参与学术和非学术环境中的跨学科研究项目。 在这个过程中，学生和博士后研究员参与各种不同的研究和教育活动。这包括学习新材料的学术工作，产生新成果的研究，交流新技术和成果的会谈，以及课程开发和课堂教学的卓越。垂直结构团体的基本整合活动是研究和交流研讨会。 该计划的主要目标是丰富学生和博士后的教育经验，促进伦斯勒的研究和教育活动，并鼓励和推动数学科学学生和博士后走向学术生涯。 这为当今科学中至关重要的东西奠定了基础，即知识的广度和跨越传统学科界限进行有效沟通的能力。我们的计划将本科生，研究生和博士后的职业发展经验与K-12外展联系在一起。我们的优势在于跨学科活动，包括强大的工业联系以及国家认可的创新教育活动。 我们的产品将是训练有素的专业人士准备成功的学术生涯。 伦斯勒计划的影响将产生具有工业问题解决经验的数学科学家，对应用领域有很强的理解，具有分析，建模和数值计算技能，能够创造性地产生解决应用问题所需的新数学，具有创新的教育和教学经验，并有能力参与学术应用数学计划的建设。该奖项的资金由数学科学部和MPS多学科活动办公室提供。
