A Broad Based Program to Produce Mathematics Professionals

这个项目在伯明翰的亚拉巴马大学数学系，将建立一个三管齐下的计划。首先，它将使有才华的年轻学生从高中直接进入加速大学集中，从而获得学士学位。和史密斯在数学上的进步。其次，它将使学生从本科生到研究生的过渡更加顺利，越来越强调独立研究。第三，它将补充我们的数学博士课程的传统教学/研究基础，重点是数学的广度，接触另一门科学，以及人际交往和沟通技能的发展，这些技能将在数学或数学相关领域的终身职业生涯中使用。 该计划为选拔和指导美国优秀人才提供了一个模板。公民和永久居民从高中的经验，通过广泛的培训计划的数学生涯。目前，这个国家很少看到最有能力的高中毕业生B.S.in数学。在这些人中，更少的人继续获得更高的学位或从事数学专业。建立了一个计划，以确定，吸引和留住未来的数学家，从高中到博士学位，并提供基础广泛的技能培训，这些技能对当今的劳动力至关重要。

This project at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Departmentof Mathematics, will establish a three-pronged program. First, it willposition talented young students to move directly from high school into anaccelerated university concentration leading to the B.S. and M.S. inmathematics in four to five years. Secondly, it will smooth the student'stransition from undergraduate to graduate student with increasing emphasison independent research. Thirdly, it will supplement the traditionalteaching/research basis of our mathematics doctoral program with emphasis onbreadth in mathematics, exposure to another science, and development ofinterpersonal and communication skills that will be of use in pursuing alife-long professional career in mathematics or a mathematics-related area. This program provides a template for selecting and guiding talentedU.S. citizens and permanent residents from the high school experiencethrough a program of broad training for a mathematics career. Currently thiscountry sees very few of its most able high school graduates pursue the B.S.in mathematics. Of these, fewer still go on to higher degrees or a profession in mathematics. A plan is established for identifying, attracting and retaining prospective mathematicians, from high school through to the doctorate, and offers broad-based training in skills critical to functioning in today's workforce.
