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

国家科学基金会奖摘要-DMS-0135290佐治亚理工学院数学科学：研究与教育的垂直一体化DMS-0135290莱西这个Vigre项目将建立在佐治亚理工学院数学学院的优势之上，以及两年前伴随该学院向学期制转变的课程审查中引入的许多创新。该项目创建了创新的教育项目，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。在本科层面，该项目将增加数学专业的数量，提高留存，并为学生提供更深层次和更相关的教育体验。这将通过为初学者引入新的课程和研讨会，更有针对性的建议，以及更大力度地促进本科生研究来实现。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。毕业实习生将在第一年、暑假和晚年部分时间获得全面的非教学支持。这将使他们能够更及时地完成学位，并将为他们提供所需的额外自由，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范围。新的研讨会将平稳地从课程研究过渡到论文研究。与数学专业本科生和该校博士后研究员的接触增加，将进一步使他们的培训多样化。Vigre计划将把教师、博士后研究员、本科生和研究生的才华和精力聚集在一起，创建一个致力于发现和学习的综合学者社区。

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.
