EMSW21-RTG: Notre Dame's Mathematical Logic Program

巴黎圣母院的逻辑组已经建立起来了。 这一补助金是一种延续;继续我们成功的三年RTG赠款在2004年（NSF-EMSW 21-RTG-0353748）和一年RTG“桥接”赠款在2008年（NSF-EMSW 21-RTG-0739007：研究培训数学逻辑在圣母院）。 在五年内，我们在逻辑领域工作的美国公民人数增加了一倍多，从5人增加到12人。 这笔赠款将使我们能够继续我们多年来与学生和博士后合作伙伴的互动所开发的成功实践，如下所述。 此外，我们还将增加一些新的活动，重点是让更多有才华的圣母大学本科生从事数学。我们的研究生培训计划培养了经历过研究，教学和数学交流等多个方面的博士生。 在巴黎圣母院，学生们建立了坚实的独立研究记录。 他们使自己知道国际数学界参加会议和研讨会，并给予会谈，除了写论文。 他们有机会与来自世界各地的专家讨论研究，并参与合作研究。 当他们毕业时，他们是国际数学家社区的正式成员。 圣母大学为研究生提供教学和培训的机会，以帮助他们取得成功。 我们的学生经历了更多样化的教学经验。我们的逻辑博士后同事已经被允许大量的时间来开发自己的研究计划。 他们教过各个层次的学生，从文科一年级的本科生到高级研究生。 他们一直参与指导研究生，在领导小组学习活动，以及教师生活的其他更先进的方面。 随着每一个博士后助理，我们的指导技能正在提高。一个令人兴奋的新重点，这笔赠款是我们的影响，以扩大我们的数学界，包括更多的圣母大学的天才本科数学专业。 我们计划开始一个双周的“本科生数学研讨会”。 希望这次研讨会能吸引更多有才华的非荣誉数学专业的学生进入数学职业。该补助金为所有在圣母大学学习数理逻辑的美国国民提供部分支持。该补助金部分支持逻辑学的三个博士后职位，每个职位持续三年。 此外，它还将为（本科生和研究生）学生和博士后同事提供一些旅费，并为学生提供一些书籍费用。 该赠款将提供一些旅费为外部游客来到圣母院与教师，学生和博士后同事互动。 这些资金的一部分将支付新的本科生数学研讨会的费用。

The logic group at Notre Dame is well established. This grant is a renewal; a continuation of our successful three year RTG grant in 2004 (NSF-EMSW21-RTG-0353748) and a one year RTG "bridging" grant in 2008 (NSF-EMSW21-RTG-0739007: Research Training in Mathematical Logic at Notre Dame). In five years we have more than doubled the number of US nationals working in logic; going from 5 to 12. This grant will allow us to continue the successful practices we have developed over years of interactions with students and postdoctoral associates as described below. In addition, we will add some new activities focusing engaging in mathematics more of Notre Dame's talented undergraduate students.Our graduate training program produces doctorates who have experienced the many dimensions of research, teaching, and mathematical communication. At Notre Dame, the students develop a solid independent research record. They make themselves known to the international mathematical community by participating in conferences and workshops and giving talks, in addition to writing papers. They have the opportunity to discuss research with specialists from around the world, and to participate in collaborative research. By the time they graduate, they are full members of the international community of mathematicians. Notre Dame offers graduate students opportunities to teach and training to help them be successful. Our students have experienced a greater variety of teaching experiences.Our logic postdoctoral associates have been allowed significant time to develop a research program of their own. They have taught students of all levels, from first-year liberal arts undergraduates to advanced graduate students. They have been involved in mentoring graduate students, in leading small group learning activities, and other more advanced aspects of faculty life. With each postdoctoral associate our mentoring skills are improving.An exciting new focus for this grant is our effects to broaden our mathematical community to include more of Notre Dame's talented undergraduate mathematics majors. We plan to start an biweekly "undergraduate mathematics seminar". Hopefully, this seminar will attract more of our talented non-honors mathematics majors to enter mathematical careers. This grant provides partial support for all of the US nationals studying Mathematical Logic at Notre Dame. The grant partial support for the three postdoctoral positions in logic, each lasting three years. In addition, it will provide some travel money for the (both undergraduate and graduate) students and postdoctoral associates, and some money for books for the students. The grant will provide some travel money for outside visitors to come to Notre Dame to interact with the faculty, students, and postdoctoral associates. A portion of these funds will cover the expenses of the new Undergraduate Mathematics Seminar.
