Partial Support of the Meetings of the Board on Mathematical Sciences and Their Applications

美国国家科学院数学科学及其应用委员会（BMSA）是研究企业和依赖数学科学的联邦机构之间的主要接口。通过研究和研讨会，委员会的21名公益专家帮助确保国家？S的决策是基于强大的数学分析和计算模拟。最近的BMSA研究建议改进国土安全部评估生物恐怖主义风险的方式，并引导联邦储备系统朝着思考系统风险的新方式发展，董事会共同监督最近的一项学院研究，为国家创造了前进的道路。美国法医学事业。委员会还通过将数学、统计学、运筹学、经济学、金融工程、系统工程、风险分析、计算科学与工程、计算机科学、决策分析和其他数学领域的领导人聚集在一起，在其两年一次的会议和其他职能上进行广泛的互动，从而促进学科的内部凝聚力。通过其在国家科学院中的地位，委员会还加强了数学科学与其他领域之间的联系，因为它随时可以接触到科学、工程、教育和医学各个领域的领导者。这使董事会能够召开真正跨学科的讲习班和研究。

The National Academies' Board on Mathematical Sciences and their Applications (BMSA) is a primary interface between the research enterprise and federal agencies that rely on the mathematical sciences. Through studies and workshops, the Board's 21 pro bono experts help to ensure that the nation?s decision making is based on strong mathematical analysis and computational simulations. Recent BMSA studies have recommended improvements to the way the Department of Homeland Security assesses bioterrorism risks and steered the Federal Reserve system toward new ways of thinking about systemic risk, and the Board shared oversight of a recent Academies study that created a path forward for the nation?s forensic science enterprise. The Board also contributes to internal cohesion of the discipline by bringing together leaders of mathematics, statistics, operations research, economics, financial engineering, systems engineering, risk analysis, computational science and engineering, computer science, decision analysis, and other mathematical fields for a broad range of interactions at its biennial meetings and other functions. Through its position within the National Academies, the Board also strengthens connections between the mathematical sciences and other fields, because it has ready access to the leaders in all fields of science, engineering, education, and medicine. This allows the Board to convene workshops and studies that are truly cross-disciplinary.
