United States-Hong Kong (REU) in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing

科罗拉多矿业学院(CSM)的数学与计算机科学系将在香港设立一个国际REU网站。这项活动的重点将是数值分析和科学计算，并将其应用于应用科学和工程中的问题。这项计划将有来自香港四所主要大学：香港浸会大学、香港中文大学、香港城市大学和香港科技大学的国际知名数值分析/科学计算教授参与。该计划的主要地点将在香港浸会大学。这个为期八周的项目将在2005、2006和2007年的每个暑假期间提供，将有10名美国学生参加，其中大多数将是非CSM学生。参与的学生将与来自香港四所大学的教师一起进行团队研究，主题涉及数值线性代数、小波、多维积分和逼近、问题解决环境和数值偏微分方程等领域。每个项目都将涉及原创研究、混合算法开发和分析，包括数学和计算。该项目将向有才华的本科生介绍喜悦，以及参与充满活力的国际研究项目所带来的发现的兴奋。它还将提高学生的技术专长，为他们提供从全球角度看待和体验研究问题的机会，他们将获得在多元文化背景下处理研究问题的培训和独立。预计REU的这一经历将鼓励更多的学生以国际视野攻读数学科学的高级学位。

The Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) will establish an International REU Site in Hong Kong. The focus of this activity will be numerical analysis and scientific computing with application to problems in applied science and engineering. The program will involve internationally known Numerical Analysis/Scientific Computing faculty from four major Hong Kong universities: Hong Kong Baptist University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The primary location of the program will be at Hong Kong Baptist University. The eight-week program will be offered during each of the summers of 2005, 2006 and 2007, and will involve ten U.S. student participants, the majority of whom will be non-CSM students. The participating students will engage in team research with faculty mentors from the four Hong Kong universities on topics from areas such as numerical linear algebra, wavelets, multidimensional integration and approximation, problem solving environments, and numerical partial differential equations. Each project will involve original research, blending algorithm development and analysis, both mathematical and computational.The program will introduce talented undergraduate students to the joy and excitement of discovery that comes from participating in a vibrant international research program. It will also enhance the students' technical expertise by providing them with the opportunity to see and experience research problems from a global perspective, and they will gain training and independence in working on research problems in a multi-cultural setting. It is anticipated that this REU experience will encourage more students to pursue advanced degrees in the mathematical sciences with an international perspective.
