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.

华盛顿大学数学科学的纵向与横向结合 摘要 华盛顿大学的应用数学系、数学系和统计系将以他们目前的VIGRE资助的成功和经验为基础，创建一个综合项目，吸引和留住有才华的美国公民和永久居民进入各级数学科学。这三个部门的横向整合将扩展到该地区的其他大学属于太平洋数学科学研究所（PIMS），为我们的学生和博士后提供广泛的国际机会。这三个部门将吸引更多有才华的本科生到数学科学通过鼓励他们更早，提供充分的机会，为团队研究项目，并提供一个综合的五年学士/硕士课程。VIGRE研究生奖学金将支持学生通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。专业交流的培训将被纳入课程，并定期为研究生举办关于广泛专业问题的研讨会。 最后，还将利用GK-12赠款和其他倡议加强外联工作。 这笔赠款将大大加强下一代数学科学家的培训，通过为研究生举办专业研讨会，为研究生和本科生参加会议提供旅行支持，接触参加PIMS活动的世界级科学家，以及与当地K-12社区互动的机会。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，特别强调女性和代表性不足的群体。
