Vertical Integration of Research and Education in the Mathematical Sciences - VIGRE: VIGRE/GT: Vertical Integration of Research & Education at Georgia Tech

NSF奖摘要- DMS-0135290数学科学：格鲁吉亚理工学院研究教育的垂直整合 摘要DMS-0135290莱西 这个VIGRE项目将建立在数学学院在技术的格鲁吉亚研究所的优势，并在课程审查，伴随着研究所的转换到学期制两年前推出的许多创新。 该项目创建了创新的教育计划，将教学和研究联系起来，并促进本科生和研究生，博士后研究员和教职员工之间的互动。在本科阶段，该项目将增加数学专业的数量，提高保留率，并为学生提供更深入，更相关的教育经验。这将通过引入新的课程和研讨会的开始学生，更有针对性的建议，并大大扩大努力，以促进本科生的研究来实现。由VIGRE项目支持的博士后研究员将得到更多的指导，因为他们继续发展他们的教学和研究技能。 他们将通过一对一的指导和他们自己组织的研讨会，与本科生和研究生进行更广泛的互动。VIGRE计划将对格鲁吉亚理工学院的数学博士课程产生重大影响。毕业学员将在第一年、夏季和晚年的部分时间获得全面的非教学支助。这将使他们能够更及时地完成他们的学位，也将为他们提供额外的自由，通过利用格鲁吉亚理工学院的许多其他强大的项目来扩大他们的教育。新的研讨会将平稳过渡，从课程到论文研究。 增加与本科数学专业和学校的博士后研究员的接触将进一步使他们的培训多样化。 VIGRE计划将汇集教师，博士后研究员，本科生和研究生的人才和精力，以创建一个致力于发现和学习的学者综合社区。

NSF Award Abstract - DMS-0135290 Mathematical Sciences: Vertical Integration of Research & Education at Georgia Tech AbstractDMS-0135290 Lacey This VIGRE project will build on the strengths of the School of Mathematics at The Georgia Institute of Technology, and on the many innovations introduced by the curriculum review which accompanied the Institute's conversion to the semester system two years ago. The project creates innovative educational programs that link teaching and research and promote interactions among undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members. At the undergraduate level, the project will increase the number of mathematics majors, improve retention, and provide students with a deeper and more relevant educational experience. This will be accomplished by the introduction of new courses and seminars for beginning students, more focused advising, and much expanded efforts to foster undergraduate research.The postdoctoral fellows supported by the VIGRE project will receive increased guidance as they continue to develop their teaching and research skills. They will interact more extensively with undergraduate and graduate students, both through one-on-one mentoring and through seminars that they themselves will organize. The VIGRE program will have a major impact on Georgia Tech's doctoral program in mathematics. Graduate trainees will be provided with full non-teaching support during their first year and during summers and portions of their later years. This will enable them to complete their degrees in a more timely fashion, and will also provide them with the added freedom needed to broaden their education by taking advantage of the many other strong programs at Georgia Tech. New seminars will smooth the transition from coursework to dissertation research. Increased contact with undergraduate mathematics majors and the school's postdoctoral fellows will further diversify their training. The VIGRE program will draw together the talents and energy of faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, undergraduates, and graduate students to create an integrated community of scholars dedicated to discovery and learning.
