This award will support Dr. M. Helena Noronha of the California State University at Northridge to organize an International Research Experience for Students (IRES) program in mathematics together with Dr. Helena J. Nussenzveig-Lopes of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil. This program builds on an earlier international Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) collaboration with Brazilian mathematicians and extends it to another student population, namely, senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Each year for three summers seven U.S. students will travel to Brazil to work with seven Brazilian students on problems in applied mathematics, partial differential equations, differential geometry, and algebra. Each U.S. participant will work in a team and be instructed by a mentor from Brazil, and each will stay with a Brazilian family rather than live in a dormitory.This IRES will provide U.S. students with an international experience in Brazil, a country with a good tradition of mathematics research. This activity will allow a group of U.S. students to engage in sophisticated research projects while developing an appreciation for how mathematics is learned, taught, spoken, done and presented in another culture. It will also help forge relationships between young researchers from both North and South America in the early stages of their careers. Through this high-level program, students will go from general course work to independent research, experiencing the excitement of discovery, developing mathematical maturity, and broadening their vision of mathematics.

该奖项将支持北岭加州州立大学的M. Helena Noronha博士与巴西坎皮纳斯州立大学（UNICAMP）的Helena J. nussenzveg - lopes博士一起组织一个数学方面的国际学生研究经验（IRES）项目。该项目建立在早期与巴西数学家的国际本科生研究经验（REU）合作的基础上，并将其扩展到另一个学生群体，即高年级本科生和研究生。每年有三个夏天，七名美国学生将前往巴西，与七名巴西学生一起学习应用数学、偏微分方程、微分几何和代数方面的问题。每位美国参与者将在一个团队中工作，并由一名来自巴西的导师指导，他们将住在一个巴西家庭中，而不是住在宿舍里。这个IRES将为美国学生提供在巴西这个有着良好数学研究传统的国家的国际经验。这项活动将允许一群美国学生参与复杂的研究项目，同时培养他们对数学在另一种文化中是如何学习、教授、说、做和呈现的欣赏。它还将帮助建立来自北美和南美处于职业生涯早期阶段的年轻科学家之间的关系。通过这个高水平的项目，学生们将从普通的课程作业走向独立的研究，体验发现的兴奋，发展数学的成熟度，拓宽他们的数学视野。
