Mathematics in Near Sub-Surface Science

该补助金的主要目标是建立一个强大的研究合作之间的PI在数学系，和物理学研究小组在博伊西州立大学。 这种合作将作为一个新的内部计划的原型，以建立应用数学家和科学与工程学院之间的教学和研究合作。 PI将通过参加课程、研究小组会议和协助现场实验来开始合作。 PI的主要合作者将是Partha Routh教授，他们将致力于从电学测量中估计复电阻率三维分布的正向和反向方面。 博伊西州立大学及其数学系正在根据地区需求发展和建设研究生课程。 该跨学科研究计划的发展是增加本科生和研究生研究机会的有效策略。该IGMS项目由MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）和数学科学部（DMS）共同支持。

The primary objective of this grant is to build a strong research collaboration between the PI in the mathematics department, and the geophysics research group at Boise State University. Thiscollaboration will serve as the prototype for a new internal program to build teaching andresearch collaborations between applied mathematicians and science and engineering faculty. The PI will begin the collaboration by attending courses, research group meetings, and assisting in in field experiments. The PI's primary collaborator will be Professor Partha Routh, and they will work on both forward and inverse aspects of estimating three-dimensional distributions of complex resistivity from electrical measurements. Boise State University, and its mathematics department, are growing and building graduate programs in response to regional needs. The development of this cross-disciplinary research programis an effective strategy for increasing both undergraduate and graduate research opportunities.This IGMS project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).
