Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Research Institute

夏季本科生数学科学研究所(SUMSRI)是在迈阿密大学数学和统计系的指导下开展的一个项目。我们寻找有兴趣攻读更高学位的数学科学专业的本科生。由于少数民族和女性数学科学家的短缺，我们对非裔美国人和其他代表性不足的少数民族和妇女特别感兴趣，但不限于此。SUMSRI的主要目标是：-通过鼓励少数民族学生和妇女成为数学研究科学家，解决少数民族数学科学家的短缺问题。-为学生提供研究环境，提高他们的研究能力。-提高学生的小组工作能力，给他们一个长期的支持小组。--提供专业榜样。--提高学生的技术写作能力。-让参与者有机会写一篇技术研究论文，并在数学会议上发表演讲。-告知学员可获得的财政援助和研究生院的机会。-让学生意识到数学科学领域的就业机会。-让学生为GRE做好准备。为了实现这些目标，SUMSRI将于2002年6月2日至7月19日在俄亥俄州牛津的迈阿密大学校园举行。在这七周里，学生们将参加数学、统计学或计算机科学方面的问题研讨会。该计划还将包括一个技术写作研讨会，一个GRE准备工作坊，两个关于代数和实分析的短期课程，以及知名数学科学家的专题演讲。此外，还将举行小组讨论，介绍数学科学领域的研究生和就业机会。SUMSRI将支付学生的旅费、食宿和用品费用。每名学生还将获得2500美元的津贴。还可以为一些选定的国家会议提供旅费和支助。理想的应聘者将以优异的成绩完成微积分系列课程和至少一门以证明为基础的数学或统计学课程。应聘者应在进入SUMSRI后进入他们的大三或大四。所有考生必须在SUMSRI经历后以本科生的身份返回他们的母校。SUMSRI目前没有资金支持国际学生。

The Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Science Research Institute (SUMSRI) is a program conducted under the guidance of Miami University's Department of Mathematics and Statistics. We seek talented undergraduate students in the mathematical sciences who are interested in pursuing advanced degrees. Because of the shortage of minorities and women mathematical scientists, we are especially interested in, but not limited to, African Americans and other underrepresented minorities and women. The main goals of SUMSRI are: -Address the shortage of minority mathematical scientists by encouraging minority students and women to become mathematical research scientists. -Provide the students with a research environment and improve their research abilities.-Improve the students' ability to work in groups and give them a long term support group. -Provide professional role models. -Improve the students' technical writing skills. -Give the participants an opportunity to write a technical research paper and present a talk at a mathematics conference. -Inform the participants of available financial aid and opportunities for graduate school. -Make the students aware of career opportunities in the mathematical sciences.-Prepare the students for the GRE. To accomplish these goals, SUMSRI will run from June 2 to July 19, 2002, on Miami University's campus in Oxford, Ohio. During these seven weeks, students will participate in problem seminars in mathematics, statistics, or computer science. The program will also include a technical writing seminar, a GRE preparation workshop, two short courses on algebra and real analysis, and colloquium talks given by well known mathematical scientists.There will also be panel discussions to present information on graduate school and career opportunities in the mathematical sciences. SUMSRI will pay for the students travel, room, board, and supplies. Each student willalso be given a $2,500 stipend. Funds may also be available for travel and support to some selected national meetings. The ideal candidate will have completed the calculus series and at least one proof-based mathematics or statistics course with distinction. The candidate should be entering their junior or senior year after attending SUMSRI. All candidates must be returning to their home institutions as undergraduates after the SUMSRI experience. SUMSRI is not currently funded to support international students.
