Mathematical Exploration of Medical Imaging

数学科学（21）本项目通过开发名为“医学成像”的数学入门课程，将科学、工程和医学的研究趋势与当前的数学本科教育联系起来。这门课程是将数学与生物科学相结合的典范。智力优势：将最新的技术和科学成果融入数学教育具有根本的重要性，因为要影响工业，研究实验室，大学和医疗中心的进步和发展，科学毕业生必须能够应用数学方法和工具来定量和定性研究问题。该项目的重点是医学成像，这是早期发现各种人类疾病的最重要工具之一。课程和相关实验室的设计、实施和评估涉及创新策略以及与来自不同数学领域的教师的合作;来自大学的各个部门、学校和中心;来自当地公司;以及来自加拿大和英国的大学。该项目的目标是加强新一代解决问题的科学家的教育，他们可以进行尖端的跨学科研究。该项目的活动是通过引入创新的课程设计和制定如何将数学知识与当前技术需求相结合的总体战略来改善科学、技术、工程和数学教育。亚利桑那州立大学的一大批女性和少数民族学生使该项目能够帮助为未来建立一个多元化的科学界做好准备。

Mathematical Sciences (21)This project is connecting research trends in science, engineering, and medicine with current mathematical undergraduate education through development of a course entitled Mathematical Introduction to "Medical Imaging". This course serves as a model for integrating mathematics with the biological sciences. Intellectual Merit: Interweaving the latest technological and science achievements into mathematics education is of fundamental importance because to influence progress and development in industry, research laboratories, universities, and medical centers, it is necessary for graduates in the sciences to be able to apply mathematical methods and tools to study problems quantitatively and qualitatively. The focus of the project is on medical imaging, one of the most important tools in detection of various human diseases at early stages. The design, implementation and evaluation of the course and associated laboratories involves innovative strategies and collaboration with faculty from different areas of mathematics; from various departments, schools, and centers at the university; from local corporations; and from universities in Canada and Great Britain.Broader Impact: The goal of this project is enhancement of the education of a new generation of problem-solving scientists who can do cutting edge interdisciplinary research. The project activities are improving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education by introducing an innovative curriculum design and by developing a general strategy of how mathematical knowledge can be combined with current technology needs. A significant pool of female and minority students at Arizona State University is enabling the project to help prepare a diverse scientific community for the future.
