Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Research Institute

夏季本科生数学科学研究所（SUMSRI）由美国国家科学基金会和美国国家安全局资助，旨在帮助参与者为研究生院的严格要求做好准备。我们认为这些准备工作将有助于参与者成功竞争并完成研究生学业。主要研究人员：Vasant Waikarand Patrick Dowling，是迈阿密大学数学与统计系的教授。SUMSRI将设在俄亥俄州牛津市的迈阿密大学。我们特别感兴趣的是，但不限于，非裔美国人和其他代表性不足的少数民族以及数学科学领域的女性。SUMSRI将为大约15名全国选拔的有数学天赋的本科生提供密集的研究经验。该研究所的主要目标是说服参与研究的学生攻读数学科学博士等高级学位。我们还将鼓励参与者参加国家会议（例如，AMS-MAA冬季会议，非洲裔美国人数学科学研究人员会议（CAARMS）， SIAM会议，NAM Mathfest, MAA Mathfest，美国统计协会会议，Pi Mu Epsilon会议）并发表演讲或海报演讲。该研究所将于2001年夏季开办7周。在这七周的时间里，学生们将参加数学、统计学或计算机科学方面的研究研讨会。每周至少举行一次专题讨论会。我们还将举行小组讨论，讨论有关研究生院、奖学金来源和数学科学领域的职业机会的信息。该计划还将包括技术写作研讨会，GRE准备研讨会，以及抽象代数和实分析两门短期课程。该学院招收的是至少以优异成绩完成两年本科数学课程的成熟学生。SUMSRI将为每位参与者提供食宿、书籍、用品、一张往返机票和2500美元的津贴。强烈鼓励少数民族和妇女申请。

The Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Science Research Institute (SUMSRI) which is funded by the NSF, and the NSA, is designed to prepare participants for the rigor of graduate school. We feel that thispreparation will help participants to successfully compete for and complete the graduate school. The Principal Investigators: Vasant Waikarand Patrick Dowling, are professors at Miami University in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. SUMSRI will be housed at Miami U. in Oxford,Ohio. We are especially interested in, but not limited to, African Americans and other underrepresented minorities and women in the mathematical sciences. SUMSRI will provide approximately 15 nationally selected, and mathematically talented undergraduate students an intensive research experience. The primary goal of the institute is to convince participating students to pursue advanced degrees like a Ph.D. in themathematical sciences. We will also encourage participants to attend national meetings (for example, the AMS-MAA Winter Meeting,the Conference of African American Researchers in the MathematicalSciences (CAARMS), SIAM meetings, NAM Mathfest, MAA Mathfest, American Statistical Association Meeting, Pi Mu Epsilon meetings) and give talks or poster presentations.The institute will run for seven weeks in the summer of 2001. During these seven weeks the students will participate in research seminars in mathematics, statistics, or computer science. At least one colloquium talk will be given each week. We will also have panel discussions on information about graduate school, fellowship sources, and career opportunities in the mathematical sciences. The program will also includea technical writing seminar, a GRE preparation workshop, and two short courses in abstract algebra and real analysis. The institute seeks mature students who have completed at least two years of undergraduatemathematics with distinction. SUMSRI will provide each participant with room, board, books, supplies, one round trip ticket, and a $2500 stipend. Minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply.
