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

这个VIGRE项目将建立在佐治亚理工学院数学学院的优势上，以及在课程审查中引入的许多创新，这些创新伴随着该学院两年前向学期制的转变。该项目创建了创新的教育项目，将教学和研究联系起来，促进本科生、研究生、博士后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、更相关的教育体验。这将通过为初学者引入新的课程和研讨会，更集中的建议，以及更大的努力来促进本科生的研究来实现。VIGRE项目支持的博士后将得到更多的指导，因为他们将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项目将对佐治亚理工学院的数学博士项目产生重大影响。毕业生培训生将在第一年、夏季和以后几年的部分时间里获得全面的非教学支持。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，通过利用佐治亚理工学院许多其他强大的项目来扩大他们的教育。新的研讨会将使从课程作业到论文研究的过渡更加顺利。加强与数学专业本科生和博士后的联系，将使他们的培养更加多样化。VIGRE项目将汇集教师、博士后、本科生和研究生的才能和精力，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.
