Vertical Integral of the Research and Educational Activities in Mathematics at the University of Georgia

提案编号：DMS0089927项目名称：佐治亚大学数学研究与教育活动的垂直整合摘要本项目将充分利用格鲁吉亚大学数学系的传统优势，利用近年来的进步和创新，将研究生、博士后、研究生和本科生的活动进行垂直整合.这些小组将以专门设计的VIGRE游戏机和程序为中心的小组为单位开会。六个学科的VIGRE研讨会将由一个广泛关注的“计算数学”课程来完成，这将使参与者从计算的重点接触到许多数学领域。 这4名博士后将有时间与适当的教员一起加强和扩大他们的研究项目，同时提升他们的教学和沟通技能。这10个研究生实习项目旨在五年内培养出合格的新博士生，他们具有丰富的课堂经验，并有广泛的职业选择。适当的本科生将通过参加VIGRE研讨会获得第一次研究经验，而选定的新生和大二学生将通过夏季研究经验来鼓励他们主修数学。该部门的传统奉献给研究生，研究生的精心管理和博士后研究员的指导，为VIGRE活动提供了自然的环境。

Proposal Number: DMS 0089927Project Title: Vertical Integration of the Research and EducationalActivities in Mathematics at the University of GeorgiaAbstract This project will capitalize on the traditional strengths of theUniversity of Georgia's Mathematics Department and take advantage of recentimprovements and innovations to vertically integrate the activities offaculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduates. Thesegroups will meet in teams centered around specially designed VIGRE seminarsand programs. The half-a-dozen disciplinary VIGRE seminars will becomplemented by a broadly focused "Mathematics of Computation" seminarwhich will expose participants to many areas of mathematics from acomputational focus. The 4 postdoctoral fellows will be given time to enhance and broaden theirresearch programs working with an appropriate faculty member, whileupgrading their teaching and communication skills. The 10 graduatetraineeships are designed to produce, in five years, well-qualified newdoctorates, with significant experience in the classroom, and a broad viewof available career options. Appropriate undergraduates will get a firstexposure of research by participating in a VIGRE seminar, while selectedfreshmen and sophomores will be encouraged by a summer research experienceto major in mathematics. The department's traditions of dedication toundergraduates, careful stewardship of graduate students and mentoring ofpostdoctoral fellows, provide a natural environment for VIGRE activity.
