Program for Women in Mathematics

“女性数学项目”是一个为期10天的年度女性指导项目，由高等研究院和普林斯顿大学共同主办。该项目每年春季在该研究所举行，由数学领域的资深女性组织。参与者包括本科生、研究生和博士后研究人员，以及作为组织者和讲师的资深女性。该计划的目标是：1)通过严谨的学术课程，加强对有才华的女数学家的数学教育；2)通过提供指导和建立广泛的女数学家网络，将这些女性留在该领域。2004年课程的主题是分析和非线性偏微分方程。组织者是普林斯顿大学数学教授张善永（Sun-Yung Alice Chang），和往年一样，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校西德·w·理查森基金会董事数学主席凯伦·乌伦贝克（Karen Uhlenbeck）。妇女数学计划解决妇女在数学过渡阶段面临的问题。项目活动包括与年度研究课题相关的应用领域的本科生到研究生的讲座；一门高级研究生课程，旨在介绍当年选定的数学领域中最先进的研究；一种研究研讨会，参与者在会上展示他们的研究成果；问题会议;还有一个女性参与科学的研讨会，其中包括对该领域资深女性的采访，并就感兴趣的话题组织小组讨论。该方案帮助建立了一个由外地各级妇女组成的网络，她们可以在困难的职业（和生活）过渡阶段相互支持和指导；扩大和加强这一网络是该计划的一个持续目标。

The Program for Women in Mathematics is an annual, ten-day mentoring program for women, co-sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University. The program takes place at the Institute each spring and is organized by senior women in mathematics. Participants include a mix of undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, as well as established senior women as organizers and lecturers. The goals of the program are: 1) to enhance the mathematics education of talented women mathematicians through a rigorous academic program; and 2) to retain these women in the field by providing mentoring and by establishing an extensive network of women mathematicians. The topic for the 2004 program is Analysis and Nonlinear PDEs. Organizers are by Sun-Yung Alice Chang, Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, and, as in past years, Karen Uhlenbeck, the Sid W. Richardson Foundation Regents' Chair in Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin.The Program for Women in Mathematics addresses issues facing women at transition points in mathematics. Program activities include an undergraduate-to-beginning-graduate lecture in an applied area related to the research subject of the year; an advanced graduate course intended as an introduction to state-of-the-art research in that year's chosen field of mathematics; a research seminar in which participants present their research; problem sessions; and a women-in-science seminar that includes interviews with senior women in the field and organized panel discussions on topics of interest. The program has helped to establish a network of women at various levels in the field who can support and mentor one another through difficult career (and life) transition points; expanding and strengthening that network is an ongoing aim of the program.
