The Carleton College Summer Mathematics Program

卡尔顿学院的数学教师将在未来三个夏天的每个夏天继续为18名有才华的本科女生提供为期四周的暑期数学课程。 该计划将由数学家谁是活跃的专业人士和优秀的教师。 学生们将沉浸在数学，生活和工作在一个支持性的社区的女学者（本科生，研究生和研究生）谁是热衷于学习和做数学。 该计划的目的是激发这些年轻女性对数学和数学事业的兴趣，为她们提供在数学事业中取得成功所需的工具，将她们纳入女性数学家网络，并推动她们获得数学高级学位。 以前的夏季数学课程（以前称为卡尔顿和圣奥拉夫学院的夏季数学课程）的影响和成功，是通过80%的毕业生已经进入数学高级学位或职业（65%已经进入研究生院）以及参与者的课程后评估来衡量的。 方案：学生将参加两门课程，这些课程在工作日上午举行，由女教员和助教带领。 在每门课程中，学生将被介绍给微积分以外的数学领域，学生通常没有机会在标准的本科数学课程中学习。 过去这些课程的主题包括代数编码理论、图论、低维动力系统和泛函分析。 通过这些课程，并在他们分配的家庭作业，学生将有机会提高他们的猜测和证明，书面和口头陈述的技能。 学生将不会获得课程学分，或在这些课程的成绩。 每个学生在课程结束时都会收到导师对她的表现和成就的书面评估。其他活动：每周都会为那些想解决有趣问题的学生提供解决问题的机会。 使用计算机进行通信和计算将是程序期间的日常工作。 每个星期二下午将有一个关于学生继续奖学金的主题的讨论：成功作为一个数学专业，职业选择，选择和生存的研究生课程，并成为一名女科学家。 每个星期二和星期四将有一个座谈会上的数学刺激领域。 学院：卡尔顿的650万美元的数学和计算中心和她的教师，这是公认的专业活动和对本科教育的承诺是其中的属性，使诺斯菲尔德一个有吸引力的位置为这个夏季计划。

Mathematics faculty from Carleton College will continue their intensive four-week summer mathematics program for eighteen talented undergraduate women in each of the next three summers. The program will be staffed by mathematicians who are active professionals and outstanding teachers. The students will immerse themselves in mathematics, living and working in a supportive community of women scholars (undergraduates, graduates, and post-graduates) who are passionate about learning and doing mathematics. The program's intent is to excite these young women about mathematics and mathematical careers, to provide them with the tools they will need to succeed in a mathematical career, to plug them into a network of fellow female mathematicians, and to propel them on to advanced degrees in mathematics. The impact and success of previous Summer Mathematics Programs (formerly known as the Carleton and St. Olaf Colleges' Summer Mathematics Program), is measured both by the fact that 80% of the graduates have gone on to advanced degrees or careers in mathematics (65% have gone on to graduate school), as well as by the participants' post-program evaluations. The Program: Students will attend two courses which meet on weekday mornings and are led by female instructors and teaching assistants. In each of the classes, the students will be introduced to fields of mathematics beyond calculus that students usually do not have the opportunity to study in a standard undergraduate mathematics program. Topics for these courses in the past have included algebraic coding theory, graph theory, low-dimensional dynamical systems, and functional analysis. Through these courses, and the homework assigned in them, the students will have the opportunity to improve their skills in conjecture and proof and written and oral presentation. Students will not receive course credit for, or grades in, these courses. Each student will receive, at the close of the program, written evaluations of her performance and accomplishments from her instructors.Other Activities: Recreational problem solving will be offered each week for those students who want to work on solving interesting problems. Use of the computer for communication and computation will be a daily routine during the program. Each Tuesday afternoon there will be a discussion on a topic pertaining to the students' continued scholarship: succeeding as a math major, career options, choosing and surviving a graduate program, and being a woman scientist. Each Tuesday and Thursday there will be a colloquium on a stimulating area of mathematics. The Colleges: Carleton's $6.5 million Center for Mathematics and Computing and her faculty which are recognized for their professional activities and commitment to undergraduate education are among the attributes that make Northfield an attractive location for this summer program.
