Summer Undergraduate Institute in Applied Mathematics

该研究所将在卡内基梅隆大学数学科学系和非线性分析中心的主持下运作。该研究所是一个为期七周的本科生暑期项目。该学院招收的对象是少数民族学生和女生。该研究所的主要目标是为学生做好准备，并使他们有兴趣从事应用数学的研究生工作。次要目标是让学生熟悉数学的现代应用领域，并让他们对研究生阶段在这些领域学习所涉及的工作有所了解。该研究所自1994年以来一直以这种形式成功运作。今年美国公民在数学博士生中占少数，继续保持长期下降趋势。其中妇女人数很少，非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和拉丁裔美国人的人数与人口相比极低。像这样的项目可以通过吸引更多的学生进入研究生课程来帮助提高这些数字。

This institute will be operated under the auspices of the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Center for Nonlinear Analysis at Carnegie Mellon University. The institute is a seven-week summer program forundergraduate students. Minority and female students are targeted for recruitment into the institute. The primary goal of the institute is to prepare students for and interest them in pursuing graduate work in applied mathematics. Secondary goals are to acquaint students with modern application areas of mathematics and to give them some understanding of the work involved in studying in these areas at the graduate level. Theinstitute has operated successfully since 1994 under this format.US citizens this year constitute a minority among Mathematics doctoral recipients, continuing a long-term downward trend. Numbers of women among these are low and the numbers for African-Americans and Hispanics and Latinos are extremely low compared to population numbers. Programs such as this may serve to help enhance these numbers by attracting more students into graduate programs.
