EMSW21-VIGRE: The Iowa Mathematics Initiative

爱荷华大学数学系和应用数学与计算科学（AMCS）紧密联合的项目将在这个VIGRE（研究与教育的垂直整合）项目上密切合作。他们将通过成功整合数学科学的前沿研究和教育，培养高素质的美国数学家。该项目建立在数学系和AMCS在识别和专业发展有才华的美国本科生和研究生，特别是来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生方面取得的成功的基础上。通过进一步的纵向和横向整合，本系和AMCS将把他们成功的技术带给更广泛的学生。这个项目的一部分是与一个联盟合作的，即哈特兰数学伙伴关系，由爱荷华大学数学系和AMCS以及其他12所地区学院和大学的数学系组成。这将使该部门和AMCS能够增加进入数学科学领域的高素质和准备充分的美国学生的数量。这个VIGRE项目包括垂直整合的研究小组，在该部门和AMCS的研究实力领域。它还包括来自爱荷华大学和合作学校的美国本科生的研究经历。最后，它包括研究生培训、博士后助理和研讨会。该项目的结果将广泛传播。评估有助持续改善工程项目。VIGRE项目经过精心设计，为顶尖研究型大学的数学科学系提供了一个模型。

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Iowa and the closely allied Program in Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences (AMCS) will work closely together on this VIGRE (Vertical Integration of Research and Education) project. They will train high-quality U. S. mathematicians through successful integration of cutting-edge research and education in the mathematical sciences. The project builds on the successes that the Department of Mathematics and AMCS have had in the identification and professional development of highly talented U. S. undergraduate and graduate students, in particular students from underrepresented minority groups. The Department and AMCS will bring their successful techniques to a broader range of students in combination with further vertical and horizontal integration of the Department and AMCS. Parts of this project are in cooperation with a coalition, The Heartland Mathematics Partnership, of the Department of Mathematics and AMCS at the University of Iowa and the departments of mathematics at twelve other area colleges and universities. This will allow the Department and AMCS to increase the number of highly talented and well-prepared U. S. students who enter a career in the mathematical sciences. This VIGRE project includes vertically integrated research groups in areas of research strength in the Department and AMCS. It also includes research experiences for U. S. undergraduates from the University of Iowa and schools in the Partnership. Finally, it includes Graduate Traineeships, Postdoctoral Associates, and Workshops. Results of the project will be widely disseminated. Assessment will facilitate continuous improvement of the project. This VIGRE project has been carefully designed to provide a model for mathematical sciences departments at top research universities.
