VIGRE II at UCLA : An Outward Looking Approach to Mathematical Research Training (EMSW21-VIGRE)

加州大学洛杉矶分校的VIGRE II（2005-2010）建立在我们作为NSF VIGRE部门的前五年。这个大规模的项目在加强教育和研究活动的互动的同时，提高了各级数学培训的教育水平。该计划有两个相关的目标：(1)尽可能早地和强烈地向学生介绍研究；(2)扩大活动范围，使数学与其他科学和工业领域相互作用。加州大学洛杉矶分校VIGRE项目的具体内容包括：(a)为研究生开设新的暑期跨学科研究实习项目，(b)与美国国家科学基金会赞助的加州大学洛杉矶分校纯数学与应用数学研究所合作开设新的学生研究研讨会，(c)继续为本科生开展暑期研究活动，(d)继续开展博士后项目，由专门的教师指导教学和研究，以及(e)为研究生增加教学经验的发展项目。VIGRE II项目每年将平均资助22名研究生、4名VIGRE博士后、7名夏季研究生实习和8名本科reu。

VIGRE II at UCLA (2005-2010) builds on our first five years as an NSF VIGRE department. This large-scale program enhances education at all levels of Mathematics training while increasing the interaction of education and research activities. The program has two related goals: (1) to introduce students as early and strongly as possible to research , and (2) to broaden the scope of activities to interactions between mathematics and other scientific and industrial fields. The specifics of the UCLA VIGRE program include: (a) a new summer interdisciplinary research internship program for graduate students, (b) new student research seminars coordinated with the NSF-sponsored Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at UCLA, (c) continuing summer research activities for undergraduate students (REUs), (d) a continuing post-doctoral program with special faculty mentoring of both teaching and research, and (e) a developing program to enhance the opportunities for teaching experience for graduate students. The VIGRE II program will support on average 22 graduate students, four VIGRE postdocs, seven summer graduate internships, and eight undergraduate REUs per year.
