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

科罗拉多矿业学院的数学与计算机科学系将在香港设立国际REU网站。这项活动的重点将是数值分析和科学计算与应用科学和工程问题的应用。该计划将涉及来自香港四所主要大学的国际知名数值分析/科学计算教师：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。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年、2006年和2007年的夏天每年提供，将有十名美国学生参加，其中大多数是非CSM学生。参与的学生将与来自香港四所大学的导师进行团队研究，研究课题包括数值线性代数、小波、多维积分和近似、问题解决环境和数值偏微分方程。每个项目都将涉及原创研究，融合算法开发和分析，包括数学和计算。该计划将向有才华的本科生介绍参与充满活力的国际研究计划所带来的发现的喜悦和兴奋。它还将通过为学生提供从全球角度看待和体验研究问题的机会来提高学生的技术专长，他们将获得在多元文化环境中研究问题的培训和独立性。 预计这REU的经验将鼓励更多的学生追求数学科学与国际视野的高级学位。

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.
