EMSW21-VIGRE: Vertical and Horizontal Integration of the Mathematical Sciences at the University of Washington

华盛顿大学数学科学的垂直和水平整合 摘要 华盛顿大学应用数学、数学和统计学系将在其当前 VIGRE 资助的成功和经验的基础上创建一个综合计划，吸引和留住有才华的美国公民和永久居民进入各个级别的数学科学领域。这三个系的横向整合将扩展到该地区太平洋数学科学研究所（PIMS）所属的其他七所大学，为我们的学生和博士后提供广泛的国际机会。这三个系将通过更早地鼓励他们、为团队研究项目提供充足的机会以及提供为期五年的综合学士/硕士学位课程，来吸引更多有才华的本科生进入数学科学领域。 VIGRE 研究生奖学金将支持学生度过研究生院的三个关键过渡。 本科生和研究生都将有更多的实习机会。数学交流培训将融入课程中，并将定期为研究生举办有关广泛专业问题的研讨会。 最后，将利用 GK-12 赠款和其他举措加强外展工作。 这笔赠款将通过为研究生提供专业研讨会、为研究生和本科生参加会议和会议提供差旅支持、接触参加 PIMS 活动的世界一流科学家以及与当地 K-12 社区互动的机会，极大地加强对下一代数学科学家的培训。我们的努力将增加主修数学科学的美国公民和永久居民的数量，特别是女性和代表性不足的群体。

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL INTEGRATIONOF THE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCESAT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Abstract The Departments of Applied Mathematics, Mathematics,and Statistics at the University of Washington will build onthe successes and experiences of their current VIGRE grantto create an integrated program that will attract and retaintalented US citizens and permanent residents into themathematical sciences at all levels. The horizontalintegration of the three departments will be extended to theseven other universities in the region belonging to thePacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), providinginternational opportunities of wide scope for our studentsand postdocs. These three departments will attract moretalented undergraduates to the mathematical sciences byencouraging them earlier, providing ample opportunities forteam research projects, and offering an integrated five-yearBS/MS program. The VIGRE graduate fellowships will supportstudents through the three critical transitions in graduateschool. Both undergraduates and graduate students will haveexpanded internship opportunities. Training in mathematicalcommunication will be woven into the curriculum, and regularworkshops for graduate students on a wide range ofprofessional issues will be held. Finally, there will beenhanced outreach efforts, using GK-12 grants and otherinitiatives. This grant will greatly enhance the training of thenext generation of mathematical scientists throughprofessional workshops for graduate students, travel supportfor both graduate students and undergraduates to attendconferences and meetings, exposure to world-class scientistsattending PIMS activities, and opportunities to interactwith the local K-12 communities. Our efforts will increasethe number of US citizens and permanent residents majoringin the mathematical sciences, with special emphasis on womenand underrepresented groups.
